Abstract
A lack of trained faculty is a frequently reported barrier to integrating ultrasound training into medical education. Clinical anatomy faculty are a promising pool from which to recruit and train new ultrasound educators. To date, there are no studies related to best practices for training anatomists in ultrasound skills and preparing them to teach the next generation of health care providers this crucial clinical skill. This report follows the development of a hands-on ultrasound training course for clinical anatomy educators and lists learner needs aggregated by prior experience level and provides best practices for training these professionals in ultrasound skills.
