Summary

This course will be an essential experience for all clinicians who are interested in obtaining skills in point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS); teaching POCUS principles, applications, and techniques. The course faculty have completed the national CHEST or SHM Certificate of Completion and many have taken and taught advanced ultrasound courses.

The in-person course combines focused didactics and hands-on scanning sessions led by nationally recognized expert faculty from around the country. During the hands-on scanning sessions, course participants practice capturing specific ultrasound views of the heart, lungs, abdomen, and legs on live models. The course maximizes the hands-on practice scanning with a low course participant to faculty ratio and the curriculum is designed to teach the highest yield POCUS  applications for clinicians. The hands-on sessions are complemented by lectures to improve the participants' knowledge of the indications, technical skills, and clinical integration of bedside ultrasound. The curriculum has been fine-tuned over years to maximize learning.

This course counts toward the Certificate of Completion Program for SHM.
