New ultrasound training for Physician Assistants in Zweibrücken!
In the winter semester 2024/25, an innovative training module for the "Physician Assistant" course is introduced on the Zweibrücken Campus of the Kaiserslautern University of Applied Sciences. The new ultrasound training, which is offered in cooperation with the General Medicine Center at the University of Saarland and an external partner, is intended to set new standards across Germany. This practice -oriented curriculum entitled "Sonography for Physician Assistants" is based on modern teaching approaches and focuses on IPOCUS (Point of Care Ultrasound), an interactive training format that combines digital learning methods with intensive practice units.
The training begins in the first semester and extends over various essential topics of sonography, including emergency situations, abdominal examinations and the diagnosis of thyroid diseases. The students benefit from a didactic concept that was developed in close cooperation with experts in sonography and didactics. This model combines blended learning, simulation -based training and case discussions. Initial evaluations have already shown a significant increase in competence in theory and practice among the participants.
practical training on the "Open Campus Day"
During the "Open Campus Day", the students had the opportunity to demonstrate their acquired practical skills in sonography. The “Physician Assistant” course is aimed at medical specialists who already have completed vocational training. The role of the Physician Assistants is crucial because they work closely with doctors, nursing staff and other disciplines and are characterized by the takeover of delegate medical activities.
In addition to the ultrasound training, the curriculum of the Physician Assistant studies also includes scientifically evaluated content in medical foundations that are essential for future specialists. Areas such as surgery, internal medicine as well as emergency medicine and anesthesia are part of the extensive training program. In addition, scientific foundations such as anatomy, physiology and pathology are treated, so that graduates have sound medical training.Integration and future view
The integration of the new ultrasound module in the regular operation of the course is already planned and thus represents an important contribution to the qualification of modern health professions. Due to the practice -oriented training, the theoretical content closely linked to practical experience, future physician assistants should be optimally prepared for the challenges in healthcare. This initiative is considered a significant step to further develop the medical youngsters in Germany in accordance with the current requirements.
like Homburg1 , this training is a clear promotion of the increasing importance of everyday clinical life. The university thus sets an important impulse for the training of new specialists in the health sector.
Comprehensive training in sonography is perceived as a key factor for improving the quality of care in the healthcare system. The developments at the Kaiserslautern University of Applied Sciences are a relevant example of how educational institutions can react to the steadily growing demands in the health sector and at the same time implement innovative concepts. For the students, not only a great learning experience opens up, but also a promising career path in a dynamic industry.
