Rural Point-of-Care Ultrasound (POCUS) Rounds

Rural Point-of Care Ultrasound (POCUS) Rounds

This series of virtual rounds will be based on rurally focused point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS) topics, learnings and case studies. The program aims to increase the use of, experience with and community surrounding POCUS skill adoption for rural-based health professionals. 

Participants can expect to:

  • improve rural POCUS skills and confidence
  • build a POCUS community of practice

Each session will include presentation-style learning and time for volunteered case studies, where attendees will have an opportunity to share real-life scans and work through specific scenarios.  

Session information will be emailed to those who have registered prior to each session.
