Title:
Improving Military Provider Confidence in Basic Ultrasound Skills
Report Date:
2020-03-28
Abstract:
Within the military, primary care providers may have to assume roles outside of the civilian scope of practice. Military providers must utilize readily available resources to determine the best care of the injured soldier in resource-limited environments. Despite ultrasound machines becoming a standard asset of deployed military personnel, some military primary care providers are ill-equipped and unfamiliar with the capabilities of ultrasound. This lack of familiarization leads to delays on the battlefield in the stratification of treatment, evacuation, and management. Improving military provider confidence in ultrasound techniques and skills can improve the quality and delivery of patient care.
