Description
I secureD the Agility fund (£2500) to host Prof Mtui, Head of Anatomy Department, Weill Cornell, NY . He gave an impressive Talk 'Integration of Ultrasound (US) to Anatomy Teaching" that ignited the interest of colleagues to start integrating Ultrasound in anatomy teaching. This talk highlighted the fact that ultrasound is a powerful visualisation technique.
Dr Damian McManus (2024) "It was an excellent lecture hosted by Eiman where a visiting American academic described ultrasound as a way to teach the anatomy of the antecubital fossa as a prelude to ultrasound guided cannulation in later years. Dr Mtui described the introduction of ultrasound into early years of teaching so as to lay a foundation for more specific content in later years in keeping with vertical integration. I know some students and trainee doctors who have been at the receiving end of PoCUS training, around IV cannulation. all of whom give positive feedback. It would be great if ultrasound can be incorporated into early years of anatomy teaching".
