Assessment of a brief point-of-care ultrasound training workshop among a large cohort of medical students.

ABSTRACT: Point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS) has generated increasing interest among clinicians and educators and prompted several medical societies to publish guidelines for its integration into medical schools' curricula.
