POCUS in Academics

For programs involving medical students, PA/NP students and residents, we offer a comprehensive review of the current curriculum and provide tailored recommendations for refinement. Our expertise allows us to design curricula customized to departmental needs, incorporating specialty-specific requirements and ACGME standards. With extensive experience in education across all learner levels, from medical/PA/NP students to fellows and faculty, Peachtree POCUS ensures excellence in every aspect of the consultation.

The consultation encompasses:

Rotation Structure

A well-structured POCUS rotation integrates both didactic and hands-on education. Our recommended rotation schedule optimizes learning quality and efficiency by balancing guided scanning with faculty and independent bedside scanning by learners.

Curriculum

An effective curriculum is fundamental to an exceptional rotation experience. Our tailored curriculum delineates specific learning objectives, ensuring clarity and alignment with expectations throughout the rotation. Unlike conventional rotations, which often lack structured guidance, Peachtree POCUS provides a comprehensive curriculum encompassing dedicated faculty time, didactic sessions, and independent scanning opportunities.

Didactics

Lectures play a vital role in introducing POCUS topics and addressing relevant pathologies. To maximize faculty teaching time, we advocate a "flipped classroom" model, where learners view pre-recorded lectures prior to hands-on sessions. This approach allows for focused discussions and efficient use of faculty resources. Peachtree POCUS offers high-quality recorded lectures accessible even after the rotation concludes, further enhancing the learning experience.

Online Modules

Repetition is the key to learning and mastering any new skill. We therefore provide online modules that can be accessed by the student at anytime. After the student practices a POCUS exam, the student can then review the module to further solidify the material learned. The modules include a lecture and quiz and are available for both basic and advanced POCUS exams. These are available in annual subscription or lifetime access models. 

Faculty Development

A successful POCUS rotation relies on dedicated faculty with expertise in POCUS education. We offer tailored faculty development programs to equip POCUS champions with effective teaching strategies and rotation management skills. Whether through remote sessions or in-person workshops, Peachtree POCUS addresses knowledge gaps and fosters faculty competence in POCUS instruction.

Resources and Equipment

Limited faculty availability and clinical pathology pose challenges to delivering an exceptional POCUS rotation. We assess the need for supplementary resources, such as simulation-based models and ultrasound machines with built-in education features, to enrich the learning environment. Peachtree POCUS recommends specific products to enhance educational outcomes and address resource constraints effectively.

Learner Evaluation

Evaluation methods are essential for assessing learner competence and rotation quality. Our evaluation strategies, which may include hands-on scenarios and quizzes, ensure comprehensive assessment and provide valuable feedback for continuous improvement.
