Critical Care Ultrasound: Integration Into Clinical Practice 2026

Critical Care Ultrasound: Integration Into Clinical Practice is organized by American College of Chest Physicians (ACCP) and will be held from Apr 30 - May 01, 2026 at CHEST Global Headquarters, Glenview, Illinois, United States of America.

Description:
Build your skills in point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS) and develop a systematized method for whole-body ultrasonography. The interactive learning experiences in this mid-level course will help you develop an algorithmic approach to hemodynamic instability, shock states, acute respiratory failure, and more. Internationally recognized faculty will train you on ultrasound guidance for vascular, pleural, and peritoneal procedures using cutting-edge simulators.
