Experiential Learning through Ultrasonography in Undergraduate Medical Education Paradigm

Abstract

Ultrasound is an emerging teaching tool in the undergraduate medical education to facilitate pre-clinical teaching on anatomy and physiology, and adjunct in clinical skills training. The integration of ultrasonography into undergraduate medical education has been met by constraints in limited curricular time, expensive equipment and cost of having a large number of trained faculty members to conduct such activity.

This TDG application will aim at delivering an e-learning platform on learning different aspect of ultrasonography, from the basis of physics to improving the understanding of human anatomy and integration of ultrasonography in clinical management. The e-learning through ultrasonography will supplement the current curriculum, from an early stage through to the later clinical years of MBBS; so as to make more efficient use of the time during hands-on ultrasound workshop and engaging in active learning in various levels of undergraduate medical education.
