YOUNG SONOGRAPHERS - TEACHING ULTRASOUND TO MEDICAL STUDENTS

Text: Robin Walter | University of Bern

Young Sonographers is a fastgrowing project, carried by medical students and junior doctors with the simple goal to push boundaries of ultrasound teaching throughout Switzerland. Soon being present at all Swiss medical universities, we thought about our next steps and decided to update our online learning platform which teaches theoretical knowledge to our basic course participants.

What we now did, with invaluable monetary support from swimsa Fonds, is an update of the didactic ideas behind all our videos. Therefore we collaborated with experienced doctors to create clear guidelines for the examination of each organ and film them as precisely as possible. During the past years, we also found that some of our videos did not seem to provide clear explanations and were therefore often left aside by students. We now reformulated the words, clarified the pictures and hope to improve the learning experience for all our participants.

This new eLearning will be available around the end of 2021 online and will be used for all our courses. Our local committees always directly contact all medical students, which are eligible to take part in our teachings. For more images and to know, what is going on, follow us on Instagram or contact your local committee.

All the best, Young Sonographers Switzerland
