The use of ultrasound images in a medical education environment has been largely ignored. Based on Hoppmann et al., (2011) , incorporating ultrasound into the M2 year of medical school would promote the advancement of student knowledge on pathology and familiarize them with scenarios in different anatomical structures. The ideal approach would involve reinforcing understanding of medical conditions by identifying them using ultrasound images. For example, in conducting an eye exam, an ultrasound…
