Stepwise Development of a Simulation-Based Musculoskeletal Ultrasound Curriculum for Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation Residents.

ABSTRACT: Musculoskeletal ultrasound (MSKUS) is a required part of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation (PM&R) residency training, yet there remains a lack of standardized educational framework guiding its implementation across residency programs. While structured MSKUS curricula exist, variability in institutional resources limits generalizability. Moreover, there has been comparatively less focus on the advantages of incorporating longitudinal, simulation-based learning, which has been proven to enhance skill acquisition, clinical confidence, and patient safety. This study aims to address gaps in MSKUS curriculum by presenting the development and evaluation of a longitudinal, simulation-based MSKUS curriculum tailored to an academic PM&R residency program. A longitudinal, simulation-based MSKUS cu
