AB Point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS) is a portable, bedside instrument enabling doctors to rapidly evaluate patients in real-time. Its application is expanding across multiple medical specialties due to its capacity to deliver prompt diagnostic information. Family medicine residents have exhibited significant interest in integrating POCUS into their training. POCUS's potential to improve patient care and outcomes is what is driving this interest, which raises the issue of whether or not primary care training should incorporate this technology. The purpose of this article is to emphasize the importance of incorporating POCUS training into family medicine residency programs globally.
