UT SOUTHWESTERN POINT-OF-CARE ULTRASOUND WORKSHOP 2024 (RP2404A)

Dallas, TX US
April 6, 2024

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.

Target Audience

This CME activity is designed for providers in the specialties of:

  • Anesthesiology
  • Critical Care Medicine
  • Emergency Medicine
  • Internal Medicine
  • Neurology
  • Surgery

Learning Objectives

The educational objectives for this course include:

  • Review the physics of ultrasound imaging.
  • Utilize ultrasound physics to improve point-of-care ultrasound imaging.
  • Utilize point-of-care cardiac imaging to evaluate cardiac function and make specific diagnoses.
  • Utilize point-of-care pulmonary imaging to diagnose and exclude specific lung conditions.
  • Utilize point-of-care abdominal imaging to evaluate the acute abdomen.
  • Utilize point-of-care vascular imaging to detect deep venous thrombosis.
  • Integrate point-of-care imaging to augment physical examination and improve management.
