Our faculty members comprise local, national, and international experts in Point of care ultrasound (POCUS). They use these skills in their everyday practice, and, most importantly, are enthusiastic teachers in POCUS. 

We'd love for you to talk to us about where to use these new skills in your practice, and hear from you when you find it beneficial!
