POCUS Bootcamp

View Session Flyer

Join us for this in-person Faculty Development Session

POCUS is becoming more widely used in the Pediatric Emergency Department, and some Pediatric Emergency Medicine Physicians did not receive formal POCUS training, while others require more scans to meet credentialing requirements.

The POCUS Bootcamp is a hands-on Educational Course designed to help Pediatric Emergency Medicine Physicians rapidly build their core scanning skills and meet credentialing requirements. Participants will learn key Cardiac, Lung, Abdomen, and Skin & Soft Tissue applications with expert guidance and real-time scanning. This Bootcamp will provide Physicians with the competency and confidence needed to effectively integrate POCUS into pediatric emergency care.
