Video Transcription

Video Summary

In this presentation, Jane Chertow-Taylor, a physician assistant and assistant professor at Baylor College of Medicine, discusses how to boost point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS) training in healthcare institutions. She emphasizes the importance of assessing providers' competency levels and implementing interventions to enhance their skills. Chertow-Taylor explains that provider competency in POCUS can be rated on a spectrum from novice to expert. She suggests starting with basic skills, such as obtaining and identifying structures in images, before progressing to more advanced techniques. Chertow-Taylor recommends a multidisciplinary approach to boosting POCUS, involving pooling resources, evaluating staff, engaging administrative support, and integrating ultrasound training into medical education. She also discusses the importance of reinforcing training with tangible references, implementing objective structured clinical examinations, and promoting an "ecocentric culture" within institutions. Chertow-Taylor emphasizes that boosting POCUS skills requires ongoing effort, including continual skill refinement and partnerships with other specialties.
