Join us for a comprehensive 4-day POCUS training course covering four of the most critical ultrasound disciplines in clinical practice. This course is designed for healthcare professionals who want to build robust, multi-system point-of-care ultrasound skills that can be immediately applied in emergency, critical care, and general clinical settings.

Over four intensive and hands-on days, participants will receive expert-led training across the following modules:

✅ CARDIAC POCUS – Develop the ability to perform focused echocardiography at the bedside. Assess cardiac function, identify pericardial effusion and tamponade, evaluate volume status, and support decision-making in undifferentiated shock, cardiac arrest, and haemodynamic instability.

✅ PULMONARY POCUS – Master lung ultrasound for the rapid identification of pneumothorax, pleural effusion, pulmonary oedema, and consolidation. Gain the confidence to make accurate respiratory diagnoses faster than ever before.

✅ FAST (FOCUSED ASSESSMENT WITH SONOGRAPHY IN TRAUMA) – Learn to detect free fluid in the peritoneal cavity, pelvis, and pericardium in trauma patients. This life-saving skill enables rapid triage and timely surgical or resuscitative intervention.

✅ VASCULAR POCUS – Master ultrasound-guided vascular access for safe and precise needle and line insertion in difficult vessels. This skill is invaluable in emergency and critical care settings where rapid, accurate vascular access can be the difference between life and death.

This course delivers a powerful combination of structured didactic teaching and supervised hands-on scanning practice, ensuring participants leave not just with knowledge but with genuine, practised skills ready for immediate clinical use.

Whether you are an emergency physician, intensivist, surgeon, clinical officer, or general practitioner, this course equips you with a versatile POCUS skill set that will transform how you assess and manage patients.

The Point-of-Care Ultrasound Liver Essentials course is specifically designed for healthcare professionals looking to enhance their skills in liver ultrasound imaging. This course provides a comprehensive introduction to ultrasound techniques for evaluating liver conditions at the point of care. Participants will learn key liver anatomy, scanning protocols, and how to assess common liver pathologies such as cirrhosis, fatty liver, and liver masses.

The course includes hands-on training, allowing clinicians to perform real-time ultrasounds with confidence.

By integrating POCUS into their practice, participants will enhance their diagnostic abilities, improve patient outcomes, and make timely, informed clinical decisions in various healthcare settings.

Veterinary POCUS Essentials Course was created by two of the most respected names in veterinary emergency and critical care medicine: Dr. Søren Boysen and Dr. Serge Chalhoub.

Together, they bring over 35 years of combined clinical and academic experience in veterinary POCUS — having trained hundreds of clinicians, published landmark research, and presented at veterinary conferences worldwide. Their approach is grounded in real-world emergency practice, meaning every lesson bridges the gap between theory and the pressures of an actual clinical environment. When you learn from Drs. Boysen and Chalhoub, you are learning from the clinicians who helped shape modern veterinary point-of-care ultrasound.

Veterinary POCUS Essentials delivers structured, in-depth instruction across the four core imaging domains that every veterinary clinician needs to master:

• Abdominal Imaging: Learn to rapidly assess abdominal organs and identify free fluid, organ abnormalities, and other critical findings. Gain the confidence to perform FAST (Focused Assessment with Sonography for Trauma) exams with precision in emergency settings.
• Pleural Imaging: Develop proficiency in identifying pleural effusion, pneumothorax, and pulmonary pathology. This module equips you to make life-saving triage decisions in dyspneic patients with greater speed and accuracy than ever before.
• Cardiac Imaging: Understand the fundamentals of point-of-care echocardiography, including the recognition of pericardial effusion, cardiac tamponade, decreased cardiac function, and volume status assessment. This module demystifies cardiac POCUS so you can act decisively in critical patients.
• Vascular Imaging: Master vascular access and assessment techniques, including guidance for catheter placement and the evaluation of vessel patency. These skills are invaluable in both emergency and intensive care scenarios.

Upon successful completion of the curriculum, you will receive an official certificate for 8 hours of RACE-approved continuing education (CE) credit. This accreditation is recognized across North America and allows you to fulfill your CE requirements while gaining genuinely transformative clinical skills — making Veterinary POCUS Essentials one of the highest-value CE investments available to veterinary professionals today.
