Amazing addition to our residency’s POCUS program

The GUSI essentials online platform is fantastic for high yield asynchronous learning and letting residents learn at their own pace.

  • Dr. Anna McDonald
    Swedish First Hill Family Medicine Residency
    POCUS Champion, Clinical Faculty and Global Health Lead

The GUSI essentials online platform is fantastic for high yield asynchronous learning and letting residents learn at their own pace. I recently gave didactics on bleeding and clotting disorders – and spent an hour of that time dedicated to practicing DVT scanning. All residents were asked to complete the DVT module prior to didactics, so we could use our time in person for hands-on transducer time. The very next week I was attending on service and we had a patient come in with unilateral leg swelling; the resident team was able to quickly and confidently diagnose cellulitis based on the clinical picture and cobblestoning seen on US – but they also felt confident to scan for DVT, practicing their skills acquired the week prior. As an educator, you live for these “lightbulb moments” when students can put theory into practice, and feel confident doing so.  Overall, the GUSI Essentials course has been an amazing addition to our residency’s POCUS program and has freed up my time to spend teaching residents at the bedside.

GUSI provided education in the areas I wanted and needed to obtain in my home/office environment!

Learning is made easier by the support provided to each student. I recommend this Curriculum highly. 

  • Dr. Glenda M. Patterson
    Core Faculty at the Veterans Health Care System of the Ozarks

 

The Instructors are experienced and knowledgeable. The Mentors are the best; patient, kind, knowledgeable, supportive. The time spent with my Mentor was always enjoyable. I could not believe I used all my sessions!! I have had an interest in U/S for a while but never thought I would be able find a curriculum designed for the non-Radiologist and not require multiple trips around the country. It is not just the way course work is presented. Learning is made easier by the support provided to each student. My goal for learning Pocus was to teach Internal Medicine Residents Point of Care Ultrasound. GUSI has made that goal a reality. I am having so much fun!!

The CHWs and Peten Health thank you for your practical, real-world approach.

GUSI provided exactly the training I needed to enable me to introduce POCUS to the group of Community Health Workers (CHWs) I work with in rural Guatemala.

 Although I hadn’t touched an OB ultrasound in 25 years, the GUSI online and in person OB course gave me the tools I needed. I successfully replicated their “Big 5” training in Guatemala, and every CHWs learned how to scan pregnant women for these critical findings. The most thrilling moment was when we discovered that one of the CHWs herself was 13 weeks pregnant – with twins! This wouldn’t have been possible without GUSI.
