Our goal is for our residents to learn to acquire and interpret focused cardiac, pulmonary, abdominal, vascular (DVT), and procedural ultrasound images.
Curriculum
Didactic Lectures: We provide the residents with small bite-sized lectures before each work-shop as well as longitudinal POCUS basics and interpretation during academic half-day.
Hands-on Practice:
- Regular sessions to practice with live models, image acquisition, and interpretation
- Selected procedure-based sessions to practice common bedside procedures such as central line insertion, paracentesis, thoracentesis, peripheral IVs and knee arthrocentesis
POCUS Certificate
We also offer a comprehensive, asynchronous, and comprehensive POCUS experience that includes self-learning modules, skills acquisition, and a faculty reviewed image portfolio as part of the HCA Certificates of Excellence.
