description Point-of-care ultrasonography (POCUS) augments physical examination and expedites diagnostic care and clinical decision-making. The use of POCUS in internal medicine (IM) appears inconsistent despite its commendable benefits. It is not fully incorporated into the IM residency core competency skills or academic curriculum.
