Classes.

Here at Practical POCUS, we currently offer three types of in-person training: a basic one day course, a two day trauma and resuscitation course, and a three day comprehensive introductory course.  Each has its unique benefits to help train medical professionals to excel at the use of bedside ultrasound.

One Day  "Crash Course"

Increase Patient Satisfaction

Our patients matter and we want to provide them with the best care possible.  Utilizing ultrasound at the bedside allows us more time with patients and to get information in real time versus waiting for other diagnostics (labs, imaging, etc.) to give us the information.  By spending more time with patients, they will appreciate your care even more.

Patients See the Problem

With ultrasound, patients can now see their problem and can better understand aspects of their care.  You can show them their appendicitis, their broken bones, or whatever else you find while treating them.

Embrace the Future of Technology

The world of medicine is evolving and so should you.  Ultrasound is becoming more available across the medical world in all specialties and locations.  Even if it is not at your institution yet, the technology is coming so embrace it early.  Rely less on x-ray and CT when moments count and you need your patient treated in a timely manner.
