Dear Colleagues,
Caroline Ewertsen
It is my pleasure to introduce you to the third issue of UIO – the first issue in
2016.
This issue covers several interesting topics in 5 original articles and 2 case reports.
Among these is the long version of the EFSUMB statement on medical student education
in ultrasound (the short version was published in the latest issue of the EJU [1]) by Cantisani et al. These statements encourage the use of medical ultrasound in
teaching at medical universities for instance in anatomy and physiology and bring
up several topics that should be considered. EFSUMB plans to look into several of
these topics and uncover in more detail the needs for successfully implementing ultrasound
in the medical curriculum across several countries.
