CME Ultrasound Workshop

Description

Join us for an immersive and hands-on Point-of-Care Ultrasound Workshop, where medical professionals will gain introductory and advanced knowledge and practical skills in utilizing ultrasound technology for rapid and accurate diagnosis at the bedside. Designed for physicians and advanced practice providers, this workshop will provide an in-depth understanding of point-of-care ultrasound principles and techniques.

During this dynamic workshop, participants will embark on a journey to explore the capabilities of ultrasound as a versatile diagnostic tool that can augment your clinical reasoning and enhance medical decision making. Led by esteemed experts in the field, this workshop will blend self-paced pre-course video content with extensive hands-on practice to ensure a one-of-a-kind learning experience.

Key Workshop Highlights

  • Fundamentals of Point-of-Care Ultrasound: Gain a solid foundation in ultrasound physics, knobology, and image interpretation. Understand the principles of image acquisition, probe manipulation, and optimization to achieve high-quality diagnostic imaging.
  • Application of Ultrasound in Clinical Practice: Discover a wide range of clinical applications of point-of-care ultrasound, including thoracic, abdominal, and pulmonary exams for use in the care of a diverse patient set including the undifferentiated hypotensive patient.
  • Hands-On Training: Gain practical experience with ultrasound scanning techniques through extensive hands-on training sessions.  Work closely with faculty in a low instructor to learner ratio environment using state-of-the-art ultrasound machines and practice on live models and high-fidelity simulation under the guidance of experienced instructors.
  • Case-Based Learning: Engage in interactive case-based discussions to enhance clinical decision-making skills. Analyze real-life scenarios and learn how to integrate ultrasound findings into patient management strategies.
  • Introductory and advanced Techniques: Discover the potential of point-of-care ultrasound in improving patient outcomes and expediting clinical decision-making.
  • Emerging Trends and Innovations: Stay up-to-date with the latest advancements in point-of-care ultrasound. Learn about cutting-edge technologies, point-of-care ultrasound devices, and future directions in the field.

By the end of this Point-of-Care Ultrasound Workshop, participants will leave with increased confidence in utilizing ultrasound as an invaluable diagnostic tool at the patient’s bedside. This workshop will empower healthcare professionals to make timely and accurate diagnoses and enhance patient care
