This research study aims to identify the national need of family medicine residency educators regarding point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS) education and resources. The study will collect data on the state of POCUS education and resources at medical universities across the country through an optional survey sent to faculty who are members of the Society of Teachers of Family Medicine. The questions in the survey focus on the respondee's level of POCUS training, use of POCUS in their day-to-day practice, and desire for different forms of POCUS content to integrate into their residency programs. The data will be collected and evaluated using Qualtrics.
the aim of this study is to measure and compare the effectiveness of the different nurse residency programs across UNC Health using a validated measure (Casey-Fink) of new nurse preparedness.
