​Point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS) enhances bedside diagnostics but remains limited by operator dependency and lack of structured training. Ben-Gurion University (BGU) developed a six-year longitudinal POCUS curriculum to address these gaps. The program integrates ultrasound training early, focuses on competency-based learning, and uses scalable methods to improve medical education and patient care.

We showed that integrating POCUS in an ambulatory clinic modifies the management of primary pulmonary hypertension patients. Avital Avriel et al.
