A virtual point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS) education program was initiated to introduce handheld ultrasound technology to Georgetown Public HospitalCorporation in Guyana, a low-resource setting. We studied ultrasound competency and participant satisfaction in a cohort of 20 physicians-in-trainingthrough the urology clinic. The program consisted of a training phase, where they learned how to use the Butterfly iQ ultrasound, and a mentored implementation phase, where they applied their skills in the clinic. The assessment was through written exams and an objective structured clinical exam (OSCE). Fourteen students completed the program. The written exam scores were 3.36/5 in the training phase and 3.57/5 in the mentored implementation phase, and all students earned 100% on the OSCE. Students expressed satisfaction with the program. Our POCUS education program demonstrates the potential to teach clinical skills in low-resource settings and the value of virtual global health partnerships in advancing POCUS and minimally invasive diagnostics.

圭亚那乔治敦公立医院公司手持超声技术的培训和实施：一项虚拟学习队列研究

启动了一项虚拟床旁超声 (POCUS) 教育计划，以向资源匮乏的圭亚那乔治敦公立医院公司介绍手持式超声技术。我们研究了一组 20 名在泌尿外科门诊接受培训的医师的超声能力和参与者满意度。该计划包括一个培训阶段，他们学习如何使用 Butterfly iQ 超声，以及一个指导实施阶段，他们在诊所中应用他们的技能。评估是通过笔试和客观结构化临床考试 (OSCE) 进行的。十四名学生完成了该计划。培训阶段的笔试成绩为 3.36/5，指导实施阶段的笔试成绩为 3.57/5，所有学生都获得了 100% 的 OSCE 成绩。学生对课程表示满意。
