Point-of-Care超音波（POCUS）の臨床上の有用性が広く認識されるに従い，POCUSの普及と教育が今後の大きな課題であると考えられるようになってきた．POCUSの普及と教育のためには，講義，ハンズオン・トレーニング，画像判定の経験の3つを中核要素とするトレーニング・プログラムを構築することが推奨されている．病院内で複数の診療科や部署からの多職種チームが協働し，また，地域において複数の病院間で協力してPOCUSの教育を行う際に，オンラインツールを有効に活用することが望まれる．私たちは，講義を提供し，典型的画像や頻度の高い症例を呈示し，動画を送付して双方向の質疑を行うことができるオンライン教育システムを試作したので，これを紹介し，POCUSの普及と教育におけるオンラインツール活用の将来性について考察したい．

As the clinical significance of point-of-care ultrasound had been widely recognized, dissemination and education of point-of-care ultrasound became increasingly viewed as an important future issue. For dissemination and education, it is recommended that a training program including three core components be established: didactic education, hands-on image acquisition, and image interpretation experience. When working with a multidisciplinary team consisting of members from different departments in each hospital, and when medical institutions in the region collaborate on developing the educational program, it is deemed desirable to make effective use of online communication tools. I will outline a prototype online educational system we recently developed, in which lectures, representative ultrasound images, frequently encountered cases, and a question and answer site with bidirectional video transmission will be provided, and discuss the possibilities of online communication tools for dissemination and education of point-of-care ultrasound.
