Stories That Inspire Global Impact

POCUS training can give clinicians the confidence to scan. But without a reliable quality assurance process, how do you know that confidence has developed into true clinical competency? As POCUS programs grow, so does the number of scans requiring review, the demand placed on faculty, and the challenge of delivering feedback quickly enough to improve…

Part 1 of a 3-Part Series on Artificial Intelligence in Point-of-Care Ultrasound AI is transforming point-of-care ultrasound through three core applications: guided acquisition, automated interpretation, and workflow/billing automation. In a GUSI-hosted webinar, a panel of experts from Stanford, UCSF, Indiana University, OHSU, and UPenn broke down where AI in POCUS stands today — and where…

In a small practice room at Touro University California, a medical student places an ultrasound probe on a classmate's knee. He begins to guide his peer through finding the correct anatomical view. But there's a catch: he can't touch the probe, can't adjust the angle himself, can't demonstrate with his hands. For the next 15…

“I don’t know how to be a doctor without using POCUS.” That’s how Dr. Vargas, a physician trained in Tropical Medicine and Hygiene and GUSI instructor, described his relationship with point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS). For the past six years, he has been working in Chiapas, Mexico, a resource-limited region where access to advanced imaging like CT,…

Bridging the Maternal Care Gap with POCUS In many rural areas of the Philippines, expectant mothers often face long travel times, high costs, and limited access to diagnostic tools. POCUS for Maternal Health in the Rural Philippines is changing that story. With handheld ultrasound devices and targeted training for local health workers, life-saving prenatal scans…

Webinar Summary: June 18, 2025 | Presented by Global Ultrasound Institute Tuberculosis (TB) remains the world’s leading cause of death from an infectious disease, with over 10.8 million cases and 1.25 million deaths reported globally in 2024. In low-resource settings, early diagnosis continues to be a massive barrier to care. Could lung ultrasound (LUS) help…

The FASH exam is a focused POCUS protocol that helps clinicians identify findings associated with extrapulmonary TB in people living with HIV. Learn the scan targets, evidence, limitations, and frontline implementation lessons.

Empowering Primary Care Through Hands-On POCUS Training GUSI trained primary care clinicians in point-of-care ultrasound over two days in San Francisco, covering cardiac, lung, abdominal, gallbladder, and MSK applications through live scanning and personalized faculty coaching. The course closed with an OSCE-style assessment to test real-world clinical application. In April 2025, Global Ultrasound Institute (GUSI)…

POCUS provides immediate, radiation-free answers to focused clinical questions, while CT offers broader anatomic detail. Compare their strengths, limits, radiation exposure, and best-use scenarios.
