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 participant's knowledge of the indications, technical skills, and clinical integration of bedside ultrasound. The curriculum has been fine-tuned over the years to maximize learning. This course counts toward the Certificate of Completion Program for SHM.
