The use of ultrasonography has been extensively shown to contribute to improved patient care, safety, and satisfaction. Thus, ultrasound (US) instruction and skill development have become a focus of interest in undergraduate medical education (UME) to enhance student preparedness for future training and professional practice. We provide a review of the literature regarding current practices and recommendations for the implementation of US training curricula within pre-clerkship medical education. Finally, we provide an overview of how we have integrated US training in obstetrics and gynecology into the pre-clerkship curriculum at our institution.
