Tara

“The OB Essentials POCUS course gave me a clear framework for how to approach obstetric ultrasound. The videos are engaging, easy to follow, and filled with practical tips and advice on how to troubleshoot. The course helped me to understand how to approach OB ultrasound based on gestational age, and helped me build my skills in the clinical setting. Highly recommend!”

Claire MD

“I highly recommend this fantastic course. It’s a solid foundation for anyone newer to OB POCUS, but still teaches plenty of advanced skills for clinicians with more experience. As someone who teaches both residents and OB Fellows, I’m impressed with the high quality educational content. Going through the curriculum myself was a great review, and has equipped me with new ways to teach OB POCUS”
