Abstract

Abstract: The purpose of this study was to assess current sports ultrasound educational practices among primary care sports medicine fellowships and to evaluate training effectiveness. This was a cross-sectional survey design conducted by the American Medical Society for Sports Medicine Ultrasound Committee among 2023-2024 primary care sports medicine fellows. Among participating fellows (88/352), 72.7% indicated that their fellowship program followed a formalized sports ultrasound curriculum. Most fellows (64.8% to 98.9%) reported a high degree of confidence for ultrasound basics, while ratings for complete regional diagnostic ultrasound scans were more heterogeneous. Time spent in a clinical setting was associated with higher confidence ratings in 6/7 ultrasound basics categories. Time spent on practical, hands-on instruction and self-directed, independent learning revealed significant associations with confidence ratings for diagnostic ultrasound scans. The findings of this study provide an understanding for several aspects of sports ultrasound training during fellowship and may provide information to help programs optimize training when developing curricula.

2023-2024年初级保健运动医学研究员的运动超声教育和培训状况

摘要：本研究的目的是评估当前基层运动医学研究员的运动超声教育实践，并评估培训效果。这是美国医学学会运动医学超声委员会对2023-2024年初级保健运动医学研究员进行的横断面调查设计。在参与的研究员（88/352）中，72.7%的人表示他们的奖学金项目遵循正式的运动超声课程。大多数研究对象（64.8%至98.9%）报告了对超声基础知识的高度信任，而对完整的区域诊断超声扫描的评分则更为异质。在临床环境中花费的时间与6/7超声基础类别的较高置信度评级相关。花在实践、动手指导和自我指导、独立学习上的时间与诊断超声扫描的信心评级有显著关联。本研究的发现提供了对研究期间运动超声训练的几个方面的理解，并可能提供信息，以帮助项目在制定课程时优化训练。

期刊介绍： As an official clinical journal of the American College of Sports Medicine (ACSM), Current Sports Medicine Reports is unique in its focus entirely on the clinical aspects of sports medicine. This peer-reviewed journal harnesses the tremendous scientific and clinical resources of ACSM to develop articles reviewing recent and important advances in the field that have clinical relevance. The journal’s goal is to translate the latest research and advances in the field into information physicians can use in caring for their patients. To accomplish this goal, the journal divides the broad field of sports medicine into 12 sections, each headed by a physician editor with extensive practical experience in that area. The current sections include: Head, Neck, and Spine - General Medical Conditions - Chest and Abdominal Conditions - Environmental Conditions - Sideline and Event Management - Training, Prevention, and Rehabilitation - Exercise is Medicine- Nutrition & Ergogenic Aids - Extremity and Joint Conditions - Sport-specific Illness and Injury - Competitive Sports - Special Populations
