Point-of-care, Point-of-concern? A Commentary on What Ails Point-of-care Ultrasound Education.

Point‑of‑care ultrasound (PoCUS) has transformed bedside diagnostics in critical care, yet its educational framework remains fragmented. Despite decades of use, training often relies on short workshops or ad hoc mentorship, leaving many trainees with suboptimal image-acquisition skills and/or interpretive competence. This commentary highlights barriers to effective PoCUS education, illustrated through clinical cases where misinterpretation posed significant risks. We identify systemic challenges including inconsistent curricula, poorly defined competencies, reliance on arbitrary scan numbers, and limited supervision. Accreditation processes remain variable, with guidelines offering aspirational statements but little implementation detail. Medicolegal concerns further underscore the need for structured training. We propose a way forward through longitudinal, competency‑based programs anchored in educational milestones, validated assessment tools, and quality assurance mechanisms. Global collaboration and standardized frameworks are essential to harmonize training and ensure safe practice. Addressing these gaps will strengthen PoCUS education and safeguard patient outcomes.
