Development of a novel pediatric point-of-care ultrasound question bank using a modified Delphi process.

ABSTRACT:

Background and objectives

Measuring pediatric emergency medicine (PEM) fellow competency in point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS) is important for ensuring adequate training and performance. Assessment may include direct observation, image review, quality assessment, and written examination.

Methods

We organized a 10-person question writing group (QWG). Eight hold expertise in POCUS and two hold expertise in medical education.

POCUS faculty ascertained content validity and the
