Abstract
Purpose of review: Review the current ways in which POCUS is currently being used and discuss current and future trends of POCUS training.
Recent findings: Despite broad utilization in many urologic practices, POCUS training is not routinely provided during urologic residency. Several barriers, including cost of equipment procurement and lack of expertise, prevent standardized implementation of POCUS curricula. POCUS education is valued and beneficial at all levels of training and changes in healthcare may reinforce the need for formal instruction.
期刊介绍:
This journal intends to review the most important, recently published findings in the field of urology. By providing clear, insightful, balanced contributions by international experts, the journal elucidates current and emerging approaches to the care and prevention of urologic diseases and conditions.
We accomplish this aim by appointing international authorities to serve as Section Editors in key subject areas, such as benign prostatic hyperplasia, erectile dysfunction, female urology, and kidney disease. Section Editors, in turn, select topics for which leading experts contribute comprehensive review articles that emphasize new developments and recently published papers of major importance, highlighted by annotated reference lists. An international Editorial Board reviews the annual table of contents, suggests articles of special interest to their country/region, and ensures that topics are current and include emerging research. Commentaries from well-known figures in the field are also provided.
