Birmingham Children’s Hospital Use HeartWorks to Expand Learning Opportunities
Birmingham children’s hospital have developed a training program specifically for pediatric echocardiography trainees, using the HeartWorks simulator to expand learning opportunities and relieve the strain of training with a potentially difficult patient population.
It is hoped that the program can be expanded in the future to help train specialist pediatric echocardiogrpahers nationwide.

Einstein Healthcare Network Selects NeedleTrainer to Drive Innovation and Learning in Nurse Anesthesia Program
The Frank J. Tornetta School of Anesthesia at Einstein Medical Center in Montgomery has adopted NeedleTrainer into its ultrasound training to help students to develop the necessary hand-eye coordination and muscle memory development that is critical in the clinical environment. Dr. Cynthia Betron, Associate Director, explained that NeedleTrainer teaches students to locate the specific block they need, without causing potential complications to patients, such as hitting a major blood vessel. This minimizes the risk of nerve damage or inadvertent vascular trauma and use of local anesthetic which can also be detrimental.

BMJ: UK Medical Education Should Include Training in Point-of-Care Ultrasound
Increasingly, Point-of-Care Ultrasonography (POCUS) is used in emergency medicine and acute medicine for diagnosis, screening, and to guide invasive procedures. Yet its dissemination into the training of UK medical students has been slow. Only 3 of the 44 UK medical schools include point-of-care ultrasonography training in the curriculum. This is in contrast with the US, where 73% of accredited medical schools have this training in their curriculums. Why has ultrasound training not taken off in UK undergraduate medical education?
