Description

Objective

The aim of this structural quality improvement (QI) project was to improve the educational ultrasound curriculum.

We created the pilot for an enduring addition to the radiology residency at Jefferson, with plans to include additional ultrasound examinations as the curriculum becomes more robust.

Stakeholders included not only the radiology residency, which would benefit from improved resident education and knowledge, but also the hospital and ultimately patients, who stand to benefit from improved delivery of care.
