Effectiveness of a Brief Course in Bedside Ultrasound for Physician Assistant Students

Physician assistant programs strive to prepare students to enter the workforce armed with the tools necessary to give their patients the best care possible. Receiving instruction in ultrasound technology helps students be able to answer clinical questions quickly and communicate their findings to their team. Through promoting high-quality clinical ultrasound training, and thereby enhancing clinical decision-making skills, we promote new learning opportunities for our students, enabling them to provide high caliber patient care in every practice setting.
