Evidence-based Ultrasound Education? - A Systematic Literature Review of Undergraduate Ultrasound Training Studies.
Despite a large number of studies previously conducted on educational concepts of ultrasound teaching in medical school, various controversial issues remain. Currently, recommendations for ultrasound curricula that aim to standardize ultrasound teaching are frequently based on expert panel advice instead of relying on valid evidence-based literature. In December 2022, a systematic literature review on the subject of undergraduate ultrasound education was conducted. All ultrasound studies listed in the PubMed and Google Scholar medical databases were filtered and analyzed with respect to various aspects of their methodological conduct and curricular implementation. A total of 259 publications were considered in the data synthesis, including 145 teaching studies in the field of undergraduate ultrasound education. The latter encompassed 58 (40%) studies that did not compare their ultrasound training to a control group. Furthermore, 84 (58%) of these studies did not assess knowledge prior to the applied ultrasound training, neglecting this factor's potential influence on study outcomes. Despite a great interest in the development and further implementation of ultrasound education during medical school, this process is still compromised by significant deficiencies in studies that have been conducted in the past. In order to provide a valid basis for curricular decisions, teaching studies should fulfill essential methodological requirements despite the multifactorial framework in which they are conducted. In the future, a guide for the design of ultrasound studies could be a useful aid for ultrasound enthusiasts and promote scientific knowledge gain.
