More educators are needed to deliver comprehensive ultrasound training across the medical education spectrum. Regardless of prior clinical experience level, all new ultrasound learners need to begin their education by gaining the same foundational ultrasound knowledge, skills, and abilities. Ultrasound-trained clinical anatomists are well positioned to teach basic image acquisition and fundamental skills and knowledge. Learners can then progress to more advanced training and clinical integration concepts with ultrasound-trained clinician educators. Institutions looking to start or expand ultrasound training programs should include support for the development of ultrasound skills in any willing clinical anatomists affiliated with their organizations.
