Aim: Describe the development of a longitudinal POCUS track for IM residents using local and external resources, including a national POCUS certificate program. Setting: University-based IM residency program affiliated with a public and veterans affairs hospital. Participants: Twelve IM residents from 2018 to 2021. Program Description: Residents complete a national POCUS certificate program by attending live courses and completing online modules, an image portfolio, and final knowledge/skills assessments. Locally, residents participate in 1-month procedure and diagnostic POCUS rotations and provide peer-to-peer POCUS teaching of residents and medical students. Program Evaluation: The POCUS track increased residents{\textquoteright} use and comfort with diagnostic and procedural applications. All residents rated being satisfied or very satisfied with the track and would recommend it to prospective applicants (100%). The most commonly reported barriers to utilizing POCUS per residents were time constraints (83%), lack of available ultrasound equipment (83%), and lack of trained faculty (58%). Discussion: IM residency programs with limited faculty expertise in POCUS can leverage external resources to provide longitudinal POCUS training to its residents.",
