Systematic review of musculoskeletal ultrasound learning methodologies

Year: 2024

Type: review

Abstract: Introduction/Purpose: As the frequency and morbidity of musculoskeletal (MSK) disorders increase, the use of MSK ultrasound has become an important diagnostic and procedural tool. This has amplified the importance of quality MSK ultrasound training for medical professionals. This systematic review evaluated and compared peer-reviewed journal articles on learning methodologies for MSK ultrasound training. Methods: Thirty-three articles met inclusion and exclusion criteria and were evaluated. Results: Results showed a lack of randomised studies that compared learning methodologies. Conclusion: There was wide variability of methodology used based on educational and institutional needs. Further randomised control trials need to be conducted to ascertain best educational practices.
