To investigate the integration of ideological and political education into ultrasound medicine teaching and assess its effectiveness.

From September 2023 to February 2024, 13 residents and 19 senior doctors from Peking Union Medical College Hospital underwent a standardized 6-month ultrasound department training program. Ideological and political elements were incorporated into the teaching, and the educational outcomes were evaluated. Participants conducted self-assessment before and after training using a questionnaire covering professional knowledge, scientific research skills, medical humanities, and overall competence (12 questions, 10 points per question).

After implementing the integration of ideological and political into ultrasonic education, 32 trainees improved significantly with regard to professional knowledge ability [6.67±1.47 vs 5 (2, 7)], scientific research and exploration ability [4.80±1.77 vs 3 (2, 5)], medical humanities quality (6.77±1.42 vs 5.45±2.01), and comprehensive quality ability (6.42±1.30 vs 5.25±1.78) (P < 0.05). The teaching effects were then analyzed between advanced doctors and residents before and after training. Before training, residents scored lower in professional knowledge than senior doctors [7(6, 8) vs 2.72±1.67, P < 0.001], but there were no significant differences in scientific research, medical humanities, or overall competence (P > 0.05). After training, both groups showed significant improvements in professional knowledge (P < 0.001), with comparable improvements in scientific research, medical humanities, and overall competence between the two groups (P > 0.05).

Integrating ideological and political education into ultrasound teaching enhances professional and ideological quality effectively.
