Course Description
Point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS) is a rapidly evolving field in veterinary medicine, especially in Emergency Medicine. Ultrasound machines are often available to practitioners, but training is lacking. There is limited training in veterinary school and the post-graduate training is not uniform. Unfortunately, this means your brand-new shining machine may be sitting in a corner of your clinic collecting dust or being used only for cystocentesis!
In this course, you will work with experts in emergency medicine and critical care with many years of experience teaching POCUS and you will learn how to use your machine appropriately. This course is mainly designed to use the ultrasound machine as a point-of-care in an emergency situation but will also teach you to use it as a tool for abdominal ultrasound. The great thing about this course is that you will learn to ultrasound the abdomen, the chest, and the heart!
You will be provided in-person lectures on the three types of POCUS in the morning, followed by a 4-hours hands-on lab on anesthetized small to medium breed dogs. The same pattern will be repeated on Day 2, which allows for repetition and building on those motor skills. This lab is a great way to learn, practice or refine your skills in POCUS. We feel confident that, after this course, you will be set to go back to your practice and start applying your skills from Day 1.
Access to this course will expire one year (365 days) from the course’s end date. After this period, users will no longer have access to course materials, resources, and any associated content. It is the responsibility of the users to complete the course and download any materials including their course completion certificate.
