Description:
Begin Your Education Journey:
This course is designed to expand the knowledge of all levels of learners. Whether this is your first time holding an ultrasound probe or you are well versed, this class is designed to build and expand on your skills.
Our classes are built to keep you engaged with experts in a fun and relaxing environment. It is important though to take the online component first to get the most complete experience.
With our ongoing project in Missouri, you can enjoy the scenic parts of the area. The course is located in Cuba, Missouri which is an easy drive from St. Louis should you fly in.
Learn in Advance:
We want to maximize your time while you are at the live, in-person section of the course. Our in-person course is combined with our main online course that you can take in advance at your own pace and on your time. It is highly recommended that you take our online course in advance as the live, in-person portion is meant to be almost entirely hands-on practice in small groups.
Hands-On Learning:
When learning how to perform ultrasound, hands-on practice is essential. Our live, in-person portion of the course is almost exclusively hands-on practice in small groups. Build confidence by spending time with our instructors as they help you become better at POCUS.
Key Learning Objectives:
• Ultrasound Basics: Recognize how point of care ultrasound (POCUS) can be used in clinical settings, the basics of how to operate the device, review core concepts such as physics, and address common administrative topics.
• Vascular Exams and Procedures: Review the various vascular exams such as evaluating the aorta and IVC, identify pathology including DVTs and aortic aneurysms/dissections, as well as how to perform vascular access using POCUS.
• Cardiac Exams: Review the four main cardiac windows (parasternal long axis, parasternal short axis, apical, and subxiphoid) and how to apply them to various clinical scenarios.
• Lung Exams: Evaluate the lungs using POCUS and use the images obtained to assist in diagnosing a variety of clinical conditions.
• Critical Care Exams: Review both the eFAST and RUSH exams that are used in critically ill and injured patients in different clinical situations as well as identify how POCUS can be used in airway management.
• Ocular Exams: Diagnose a variety of pathologies using POCUS such as retained foreign body, lens dislocation, vitreous hemorrhage, retinal detachment, and retrobulbar hematoma.
• Abdominal, Retroperitoneal, and Pelvic Exams: Identify the various roles for POCUS to assess the genitourinary tract (including kidneys and bladder), obstetrics (primarily the first trimester), gallbladder, appendix, small bowel, and pylorus.
• MSK and Soft Tissue Exams: Evaluate the various roles of POCUS to access musculoskeletal (MSK) structures, the skin, and soft tissues.
• Needle Guidance Procedures: Assess the various roles that needle guidance improves with POCUS such as with vascular access, arthrocentesis, and nerve blocks.
