Bringing anatomy to life: the role of clinical ultrasound in undergraduate medical education - a systematic review.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The implementation of ultrasound as point-of-care technique within the medical education has been broadly studied to understand its applicability in clinical settings. More research has been conducted to specifically understand the use of clinical ultrasound in the medical curriculum to learn anatomy. The results of publications on anatomical skills and knowledge outcomes of students related to ultrasound are contradictory. The objectives of this study were to identify and describe common study types and educational programs conducted in anatomy teaching with clinical ultrasound and to describe the impact on learning outcomes.

Methods

A literature search from the databases Scopus, PubMed and Google scholar was conducted with keywords related to anatomy learning, u
