EUROSON 2016 Leipzig, Germany

During EUROSON 2016 a joint committee session focused on Student Education. Various presentations (a total of 9) were given focusing on the purpose of better student education in the field of ultrasonography. The first presentation, given by A. Kabaalioglu from Antalya, Turkey, focused on how ultrasonography is taught in the medical schools which responded to the European survey. The main reason why ultrasonography is not taught enough was considered to be the lack of resources and instructors. It was discussed that medical schools throughout Europe should strive for better communication between each other and for EFSUMB to provide better information about the education of ultrasonography. While the review focused on the medical schools we were also able to hear and see students observations.
