We are excited to offer an expanded POCUS curriculum.
For years, our residents have been trained to use bedside ultrasound to safely perform common procedures including the placement of central lines, thoracentesis, and paracentesis. More recently, we have expanded opportunities for our residents to develop their skills in diagnostic point-of-care ultrasound where they can learn the fundamentals of image acquisition, interpretation, and clinical integration across multiple scanning areas including cardiac, lung, abdominal and skin/soft tissue. Our residents enjoy access to both handheld and cart-based ultrasound equipment during their core inpatient and outpatient rotations.
