The Society of Ultrasound in Medical Education (SUSME) and the American Institute of Ultrasound in Medicine (AIUM) have launched the 2013: Year of Ultrasound (2013YOU) campaign.
The campaign is designed to promote the widespread integration of ultrasound throughout the entire spectrum of medical school, allied health, and postgraduate medical education, according to the organizations. SUSME and AIUM are encouraging individuals to educate colleagues, inspire students, and share their knowledge of ultrasound throughout the year.
Activities could include mentoring a colleague, encouraging the addition of ultrasound into a medical school's curriculum, publishing an article focusing on the use of ultrasound to solve a particular problem, encouraging sessions dedicated to ultrasound at specialty society meetings, and posting stories about the benefits of using ultrasound in the patient exam or screening, the organizations said.
