Objective
Train undergraduate medical students to practice point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS) in the urgency and emergency module of the medical internship.
Methods
The study was carried out through the Extended Focused Assessment with Sonography in Trauma theoretical–practical ultrasonography course applied to students in the 11th semester of the CESUPA medical course.
Results
It was found that most university students demonstrated an improvement in their ability to carry out and grasp knowledge about the subject after applying theoretical and practical classes on an ultrasound device and ultrasound training simulator.
Conclusion
The improvement in student performance after the practical activity encourages discussion about the importance of curricular adjustment to adapt to technological advances in the medical field.
