POCUS

The program features a specialized curriculum for Point of Care Ultrasound (POCUS). Our faculty members undergo comprehensive training through the Global Ultrasound Institute (GUSI) and regularly lead didactic workshops, imparting fundamental POCUS principles to residents and medical students. The integration of POCUS within day-to-day patient care ensures the gradual mastery of POCUS skills over the course of the three-year residency program.

Our POCUS training protocols encompass a range of ultrasound devices, including the GE VScan Air, GE VScan Extend, Butterfly iQ, and a GE standalone ultrasound unit on wheels. This array of devices equips our residents with proficiency in operating different types of ultrasound devices.

The practical application of POCUS is seamlessly integrated across multiple settings. This includes its utilization within our ambulatory continuity clinic, our inpatient service, and our mobile health unit, which extends medical outreach to underserved regions. This versatile incorporation of POCUS further underscores its significance in enhancing our residents knowledge and skills POCUS applications.
