Motivations, barriers, and professional engagement: a multisite qualitative study of internal medicine faculty's experiences learning and teaching point-of-care ultrasound.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS) graduate medical education is expanding across many specialties, but a lack of trained faculty is a common barrier. Even well-designed faculty development programs struggle with retention, yet little is known about the experiences of practicing physicians learning POCUS. Our objective is to explore the experiences of clinician-educators as they integrate POCUS into their clinical and teaching practices to help inform curriculum design.

Methods

Qualitative study using instrumental case study design to analyze interview data from 18 internal medicine clinician-educators at 3 academic health centers. Interviewees were recruited by program directors at each site to include participants with a range of POCUS use patterns. Interviews too
