A core curriculum for pediatric lung ultrasound: an expert consensus.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Lung ultrasound is a valuable tool for pediatricians, aiding in diagnosis and procedural safety while reducing radiation exposure. Its application has significantly increased. However, unlike some other medical specialties, structured ultrasound training is not consistently integrated into pediatric residency programs, resulting in variable skill acquisition among national practitioners. This lack of standardization necessitates the development of a comprehensive educational framework.

Main body

A standardized, longitudinal core curriculum for pediatric lung ultrasound is developed through a consensus of nationally recognized experts. The proposed model defines progressive proficiency levels, each with specific clinical competencies, skills, and measurable milesto
