Advance your POCUS training beyond the foundations with next-level instruction from expert faculty, tailored to your clinical practice setting. Choose from two clinical tracks: inpatient and outpatient. The inpatient track will focus on advanced cardiopulmonary techniques while the outpatient track will focus on how to start integrating the broad field of soft tissue and musculoskeletal POCUS into the clinic. Both tracks will cover topics like biliary, aorta, and a multisystem ultrasound physical. A 15-minute hands-on assessment of core POCUS skills will take place at the end of the course

When registering, attendees will select which clinical care setting best applies to their practice (inpatient or outpatient) to ensure topics covered will be most applicable to them.
