Introduction: The term bedside ultrasound (POCUS) has been used to describe the use of portable ultrasounds by the physician when providing patient care. POCUS is increasingly being integrated in medical practice as an extension of the traditional physical examination. Objective: To report the experience of the implementation of the teaching POCUS in the undergraduate curriculum of the Faculty of Medicine of UFJF. Experience report: The process and the conditions for the implementation of the discipline Clinical Ultrasound (EC) I with the students of the fourth period of the UFJF medical course are described. Results and discussion: Cognitive assessment (CA) with multiple choice options, 88% of students scored 80 points or higher. In the CA using image association, the result was even better, reaching 96% of students with grades equal to or greater than 80 points (no student scored below 60 points). In the OSCE, achievement equal to or greater than 80 points was achieved by 92% of the students. Satisfaction assessment with the discipline CU I (Likert scale) by medical students revealed that the absolute majority of them consider that ultrasound has improved their medical education, improved the quality of their physical examination and should be more inserted in the curriculum doctor. Conclusion: The insertion of the ultrasonography in the teaching of graduation in medicine is pedagogically adequate and approved by the students.
