Development of a longitudinal critical care ultrasound curriculum with dedicated hands-on training and systematic review of fellow-acquired ultrasound images
PROPOSAL SUMMARY/ABSTRACT
Cognitive integration (CI) connects foundational science (FS) to medical practice and improves clinical reasoning. While evidence supports CI in medical training, the clinical relevance of FS is often obscure to medical students. Providing effective and engaging tools to promote CI may enhance understanding of FS relevance to clinical medicine. We therefore aim to create an online curriculum to integrate FS into clerkships. The goal of this project is to produce a single online module that can be used as a template for future similar online modules.
1. PROPOSAL SUMMARY/ABSTRACT - UCSF’s Global Health (GH) 101x and GH103 courses are now several years old and in need of updating, not only for concepts in global health, but notably cultural humility, antiracism, and anti-oppressive topics are currently not mentioned in the course. As Graduate Medical Education (GME) Global Health Pathway Director and GH101x and GH103 course director, I am responsible for maintaining the curriculum, but have an imperative goal of revising our Global Health Pathway Curriculum from an inclusive and anti-oppressive lens.
Background Significance
PROPOSAL SUMMARY/ABSTRACT
Musculoskeletal interventions, such as joint injections, are increasingly performed under ultrasound-guidance1. The UCSF Musculoskeletal Ultrasound (MSK US) program has grown from performing 58 procedures in 2014-15 to 462 procedures in 2021-22. With this increasing demand, competency in MSK US interventions has become an important part of the radiology curriculum.

Abstract:
Project Lead: Sara Lewin, MD
New pediatric tracheostomy patients face a unique challenge of near total dependence upon family members becoming expert home caregivers prior to discharge. The caregiver burden is even more so for marginalized groups and low-income families. Post-surgical hospital length of stay (LOS) is often prolonged due to the extended training period required to prepare these families not only for basic tracheostomy care, but emergency scenario readiness.
