Training processes have shifted from informal apprenticeship to structured curricula, yet challenges in standardisation, competence assessment and accreditation persist. This review traces the historical development of PoCUS training and highlights contributions from pioneering educators.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>A narrative review of published literature, professional society guidelines and historical accounts was undertaken.

Longitudinal programmes and fellowships offered more robust outcomes but were resource\u2010intensive and inconsistently implemented. Professional societies issued guidelines, though most were consensus\u2010based rather than evidence\u2010driven, leading to variability in curricula and accreditation standards. Recent innovations include Free Open\u2010Access Medical Education, simulation and artificial intelligence\u2010assisted training. Despite these advances, surveys reveal persistent barriers such as lack of trained faculty, inconsistent assessment tools and medicolegal concerns.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Discussion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The historical trajectory of PoCUS training underscores the tension between rapid clinical adoption and the slower development of robust educational frameworks. While innovations have expanded access, the absence of standardised, validated assessment and accreditation continues to limit training quality and patient safety.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>PoCUS training has advanced considerably but remains fragmented.
