Ultrasound Workshop

Point of care ultrasound is now an indispensable tool for emergency and critical care providers. Our workshop is aimed at helping providers gain a foundational understanding of point of care ultrasonography and basic skills to acquire and interpret ultrasound images. We will do so through didactics, guided image interpretation and supervised hands-on image acquisition on live models. Students should feel confident after the workshop that they gained the foundation and is equipped for further skill advancements through education and practice in the future.
