Summary

Introduction: Clinical ultrasound is a technique that increases diagnostic capacity and facilitates clinical decision making. The objective is to develop and validate an ultrasound training methodology oriented to the clinical practice of the family doctor.

Methods: quasi-experimental study, with before / after design, with a control group and one year of follow-up. 20 family doctors working in primary care Health Centers and with a list of patients over 800 will be included and a control group of similar characteristics will be selected, in terms of age, gender and patient list. A structured training process oriented to the clinical practice of the family physician, Primary Care Clinical Ultrasound Classroom (AECAP) will be carried out, and the improvement of knowledge and skills will be evaluated, as well as the improvement of quality of care based on clinical indicators.

Discussion: The Family Physician is in a privileged situation to increase the performance of the ultrasound in frequent clinical situations and allows a reduction of the attention times. Investigators hope that the results obtained in this study demonstrate the effectiveness of the structured training method (AECAP) and support the generalization of ultrasound in Primary Health Care.
