In preparing for medical school admissions, premedical students seek opportunities to expand their medical knowledge. Knowing what students seek and what point‐of‐care ultrasound offers, we created a novel educational experience using point‐of‐care ultrasound. The innovation has 3 goals: (1) to use point‐of‐care ultrasound to highlight educational concepts such as the flipped classroom, simulation, hands‐on interaction, and medical exposure; (2) to work collaboratively with peers; and (3) to expose premedical students to mentoring for the medical school application process. We believe that this course could be used to encourage immersive innovation with point‐of‐care ultrasound, progressive education concepts, and preparation for medical admissions.
