Join us for an 8-hour day full of ultrasound education focusing on the resuscitation of your patient. Shortness of breath? Chest pain? Hypotension? This course covers how POCUS can help!

CME for the course will be provided by EMA! We are also offering this course with an optional question bank in collaboration with Core Ultrasound. The question bank is a great way to help you solidify your image interpretation skills! The question bank has over 3600 clips for you to use for training and development of pattern recognition. Learn more here.

Please note: This is considered an intermediate-level course, so an understanding of basic POCUS principles, machine function, and modes is presumed. We do not recommend taking this course if you have had no previous POCUS experience.

When:

• Thursday September 9th, 2021 8 AM - 4PM

Where:

• EMA Offices
