ABSTRACT
There has been a recent push for more formal ultrasound teaching in medical school curricula. Faculty availability, however, presents a significant barrier to its implementation. Medical student interest groups such as the McGill Ultrasound Interest Group (MUSIG), aimed to address this barrier by using near-peer instruction (NPI) to teach ultrasound to other students. MUSIG has helped teach hundreds of students about the fundamentals of ultrasound and its applicability in clinical practice by creating ultrasound conferences, friendly ultrasound competitions, virtual lectures, and educational resources. This paper aims to use MUSIG as an example to highlight the important role students can play in changing the landscape of medical education.
