POCUS Guidelines and Position Statements

A comprehensive collection of professional guidelines and position statements supporting the use of Point-of-Care Ultrasound across medical specialties.

Why POCUS?

Point-of-Care Ultrasound (POCUS) is a game-changer in medical practice, offering:
01
Real-time imaging for faster clinical decision-making.
02
Increased diagnostic accuracy at the bedside.
03
Greater accessibility in low-resource settings.

POCUS is revolutionizing healthcare by enabling clinicians to make faster, more accurate diagnoses and improve patient outcomes—whether in a hospital, clinic, or resource-limited setting.

We’ve compiled evidence-based guidelines and official position statements from leading medical organizations to support POCUS integration and education. These documents provide:

  • Curriculum frameworks for integrating POCUS into residency and fellowship training programs
  • Board certification requirements and core competencies from certifying bodies
  • Practice standards for performing and interpreting point-of-care ultrasound examinations
  • Specialty-specific recommendations from emergency medicine, family medicine, internal medicine, hospital medicine, and other disciplines
  • Evidence supporting POCUS as a valuable diagnostic and procedural tool

Use these resources to:

  • Advocate for POCUS training and resources at your institution
  • Stay current with evolving standards and recommendations in point-of-care ultrasound
