Our practical Ultrasound – Beginner Course is designed for emergency physicians who want to learn the critical aspects of emergency ultrasound, including echocardiography and vascular access, and feel confident putting their skills to use in the ED. After didactic lectures led by veteran faculty, participants with have ample time for hands-on scanning in small groups of a maximum four participants to one instructor ratio. New this year, we will spend dedicated, hands-on time highlighting the functions of the ultrasound machine to optimize and improve your images.

In addition, participants are invited to a lunchtime Q&A session with faculty so you can ask any questions you have about credentialing processes, ultrasound machine maintenance, and how to improve scanning skills. Last year’s participants loved this new addition, so bring your burning ultrasound questions!
