Basic US Pathway This basic pathway is designed for novice ultrasound users with little or no prior formal ultrasound training or experience. We will cover the basics of point-of-care ultrasound including: physics, artifacts, knobology, Extended Focused Assessment with Sonography in Trauma (E-FAST), procedural guidance (vascular access, thoracentesis, paracentesis, lumbar puncture, abscess, arthrocentesis), and basic echocardiography. Intermediate US Pathway This intermediate pathway is designed for the provider with some basic working knowledge of emergency ultrasound and would like to fine tune specific ultrasound modalities or learn some new ones. You will have the opportunity to pick four (4) different ultrasound modalities to learn and/or perfect with an ultrasound expert. Each rotation will last approximately one hour and be tailored to the experience of the group.

Ultrasound in the Wild – A Practical Case-Based Approach to Learning US This course is designed to help the emergency clinician learn how to apply Emergency Ultrasound in real-world clinical environments (i.e., busy EDs, high acuity) through a case-based teaching approach. The goal is to make the emergency clinician more efficient, more accurate, and a better overall practitioner through learning how to integrate this amazing technology into practice. Rather than listening or feeling through the body, we will teach them how to see into the body (as if, the had x-ray glasses). Participants will have access to links on concise asynchronous video content to prepare before the US workshop. On the day of the course, we will have participants choose four topics out of 5 stations and rotate every 60-min stations. | Topics to Choose From (Pick 4 out of 5): Abdominal Pain, Chest Pain, Dyspnea, Hypotension, and Painful Extremities
