CONTINUING MEDICAL EDUCATION<\/h2>\n <\/div>\n
Since 2012, our annual point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS) continuing medical education (CME) course has attracted hundreds of clinicians from across the United States and abroad.\u00a0 Our nationally-recognized local and guest faculty specializing primarily in internal medicine\/hospital medicine, critical care, emergency medicine, and anesthesiology gather to present our annual POCUS CME course.\u00a0 The course combines focused didactics with hands-on scanning sessions to give learners an immersive two-day educational experience on the highest-yield POCUS applications.\u00a0 Both faculty and learners have enjoyed the exchange of ideas in a friendly, relaxed atmosphere. The POCUS CME course has become highly popular and sells out quickly once registration opens.<\/p>\n

During the COVID-19 pandemic, our innovative and talented faculty delivered the annual POCUS CME course virtually using novel tele-ultrasound software.\u00a0 The unique hands-on training experience allowed faculty to guide learners remotely by viewing their ultrasound screen and hand position.\u00a0 The initial course was highly successful and led to follow-up courses with learners participating from Alaska, Singapore, and beyond.\u00a0 Brief videos of hands-on scanning sessions using tele-ultrasound can be viewed here (video 1<\/a>,\u00a0video 2<\/a>).<\/p>\n
