Point-of-Care Ultrasound Workshop (RP2304B)

Dallas, TX US
April 29, 2023

Note: On-site Registration on Saturday, April 29 will not be available. All attendees will need to register online by 2pm Friday, April 28.

The widespread availability of portable ultrasound machines has provided physicians and allied health professionals with the opportunity to utilize point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS) at the patient’s bedside as a non-invasive examination tool. The use of POCUS can augment physical examination and allow practitioners to rapidly diagnose specific conditions and guide interventions. The hands-on, daylong simulation course is designed to review the basics of ultrasound through a series of lectures and hands-on practice in techniques utilizing point-of-care ultrasound for the evaluation of cardiac, pulmonary, abdominal and vascular conditions.
