Point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS) continues to evolve as an essential adjunct to clinical examination not only in the acute care setting but also in other disciplines such as critical care medicine, internal medicine, and pediatrics. There is a wide array of simulation and clinical integration strategies for POCUS training. The common approach often begins with workshops and conferences with didactics, phantoms,simulators and live models to simulate bedside skills and techniques. The purpose of this presentation is to outline potential strategies and techniques to optimize POCUS training / teaching.
