This course is designed to provide the practicing clinician with the experience to begin using bedside ultrasound for goal-directed diagnosis and procedural guidance. Point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS), or the use of ultrasound at the bedside by a caregiver to provide immediate diagnostic or procedural guidance, continues to expand. POCUS has been shown to improve and expedite care, enhance safety, and effectively guide procedures. This course continues to use our signature “two-track” approach. The tracks will allow you to experience a broader scope while emphasizing image acquisition for the core areas (e.g., FAST, echo, biliary, DVT, venous access), as well as allowing you to build a foundation with an emphasis on Doppler, musculoskeletal scanning & procedures, and critical care. The course emphasizes extensive hands-on teaching with a low faculty-to-student ratio with live models and procedural phantoms. Both tracks will include extensive hands-on experience in small groups with instructors that will tailor the lab sessions to those who are new to ultrasound as well as those who have experience.
