Abstract
Introduction/Purpose
As the frequency and morbidity of musculoskeletal (MSK) disorders increase, the use of MSK ultrasound has become an important diagnostic and procedural tool. This has amplified the importance of quality MSK ultrasound training for medical professionals. This systematic review evaluated and compared peer-reviewed journal articles on learning methodologies for MSK ultrasound training.
Methods
Thirty-three articles met inclusion and exclusion criteria and were evaluated.
Results
Results showed a lack of randomised studies that compared learning methodologies.
Conclusion
There was wide variability of methodology used based on educational and institutional needs. Further randomised control trials need to be conducted to ascertain best educational practices.
