- Abstract
As in so many other fields, the internet has revolutionised medical education. It has done this by circumventing the traditional constraints of medical education, in particular the availability of local resources such as teachers and textbooks. This “education revolution” has been most successful in the areas of theoretical knowledge. This article explores the available resources, and the challenges that arise when attempting to teach point-of-care ultrasound via the internet, such as the visuomotor and visuospatial skills required to create a diagnostic image. This article also describes the progress to date in this field.
