          Abstract

          Introduction. The use of didactic tools for teaching basic sciences in the medical career focuses on anatomical models, electrodiagnostic equipment, and simulation. Only some study programs incorporate images for teaching basic sciences; some of the reasons are the cost of the ultrasound equipment. However, many medical schools have the infrastructure to do so. Materials and methods. We conducted a review of the scientific literature in the Scopus, Web of Science, and Google Academic databases, after which the researchers conducted discussion sessions to select the main ideas that would help build the educational proposal. Results. Describe a proposal for curricular design for creating training programs and teacher training that allows maximizing the use of ultrasound as a teaching tool for the basic sciences of the medical career. Conclusion. The best way to strengthen the teaching of medical sciences is through constant academic training, both in disciplinary content and in teaching. Only in this way can we face the great need to train doctors who are very aware of their social responsibility.

Resultados. Describir una propuesta de diseño curricular para la creación de programas de formación y formación docente que permita maximizar el uso de la ecografía como herramienta didáctica de las ciencias básicas de la carrera de medicina. Conclusión. La mejor manera de fortalecer la enseñanza de las ciencias médicas es a través de la formación académica constante, tanto en los contenidos disciplinares como en la docencia. Solo así podremos afrontar la gran necesidad de formar médicos muy conscientes de su responsabilidad social.

            Using focus groups in medical education research: AMEE Guide No. 91.

            Qualitative research methodology has become an established part of the medical education research field. A very popular data-collection technique used in qualitative research is the "focus group". Focus groups in this Guide are defined as "… group discussions organized to explore a specific set of issues … The group is focused in the sense that it involves some kind of collective activity … crucially, focus groups are distinguished from the broader category of group interview by the explicit use of the group interaction as research data" (Kitzinger 1994, p. 103). This Guide has been designed to provide people who are interested in using focus groups with the information and tools to organize, conduct, analyze and publish sound focus group research within a broader understanding of the background and theoretical grounding of the focus group method. The Guide is organized as follows: Firstly, to describe the evolution of the focus group in the social sciences research domain. Secondly, to describe the paradigmatic fit of focus groups within qualitative research approaches in the field of medical education. After defining, the nature of focus groups and when, and when not, to use them, the Guide takes on a more practical approach, taking the reader through the various steps that need to be taken in conducting effective focus group research. Finally, the Guide finishes with practical hints towards writing up a focus group study for publication.

              Ultrasound Curricula in Undergraduate Medical Education: A Scoping Review

              The clinical applications of point-of-care ultrasound (US) have expanded rapidly over the past decade. To promote early exposure to point-of-care US, there is widespread support for the integration of US curricula within undergraduate medical education. However, despite growing evidence and enthusiasm for point-of-care US education in undergraduate medical education, the curricular design and delivery across undergraduate medical education programs remain variable without widely adopted national standards and guidelines. This article highlights the educational and teaching applications of point-of-care US with a focus on outcomes. We then review the evidence on curricular design, delivery, and integration and the assessment of competency for point-of-care US in undergraduate medical education.
