The introduction of point-of-care ultrasonography into practice in internal medicine and subsequently into the educational program for our specialty brought the need to define a curriculum for training in this method. We solve the question of "what to teach" - i.e. what core ultrasound competencies internists should learn for their practice. It is also necessary to define the procedure "how to teach" - the form and content of the education program, what the basic course should contain, and above all how the subsequent training should take place in practice. The third major problem to be solved is "who should teach", i.e. the definition of the requirements for trainers who will lead the training.

Keywords: point of care ultrasound, internal medicine, education program.
