Scan sprints are a didactic learning exercise for POCUS enablement modeled after Dr. Mena Ramos and Dr. Kevin Bergman by Jori Enfield in the GUSI MedConnect program. Scan sprints involve training student models to table trainers, as they progress towards teaching events. This process involves scan demonstration to the learner, then the learner practices the scan with verbal instruction of the trainer. Verbal guidance is encouraged during the exercise to ensure the new learners maximize their hands-on experience during the Scan Sprint. This provides an increased depth of understanding, and improved interpretation skills throughout the learning experience, and gives them guided opportunities for basic trouble shooting as well.

Jori Enfield, OMS-V, is a medical student at Touro University California, an Osteopathic Manipulative Medicine (OMM) Teaching Fellow, and the founder and President of GUSI MedConnect—the national medical student engagement initiative of the Global Ultrasound Institute. Through MedConnect, he has launched instructor training programs, led educational content development, consulted on technology innovation projects, and built a national network of student educators, faculty mentors, and institutional collaborators to expand access to point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS) education.
Jori integrates POCUS into osteopathic medicine, primary care, and medical education, with extensive experience in clinical ultrasound instruction and curriculum development across diverse healthcare settings. As an OMM Fellow, he explores the interface between palpatory diagnosis and ultrasound imaging to enhance structural and functional assessment. He is a recipient of the Touro University California Dean’s Research Grant for a POCUS-based study evaluating clinical utility and educational outcomes in medical student training.
Beyond POCUS, Jori focuses on advancing osteopathic manipulative medicine, integrative and functional medicine frameworks, and leveraging wearable and multimodal biometric data for precision health interventions.
