The Ultrasound Course - Online

The Ultrasound Course - Online is organized by Provider Practice Essentials (PPE), LLC.

Description:
This online package condenses the core elements of our live ultrasound workshop into 11 structured video modules, focused on point?of?care ultrasound (POCUS) fundamentals, practical scanning windows, common pathology recognition, and clinical integration.  This is an excellent alternative to live attendance and allows for individual personal learning on your own time, with your own equipment.

Learning outcomes

• Perform basic bedside cardiac, lung, aorta, abdominal, and DVT scans
• Recognize common abnormal findings and integrate with the exam
• Apply POCUS to procedural guidance and rapid decision-making
