    “Learning is made easier by the support provided to each student.”

    GUSI provided education in the areas I wanted and needed, right from my home and office environment. I recommend this curriculum highly. It’s not just the way the course material is presented—learning is made easier by the support provided to each student throughout the program.

    “POCUS Has Allowed Me to Find New Excitement in Primary Care, and Reduces Burnout by Providing Quicker Answers to Medical Problems in Real Time.”

    POCUS has allowed me to find new excitement in primary care, and reduces burnout by providing quicker answers to medical problems in real time. By improving my diagnostic skills, and increasing my interaction with patients, I hope to continue to have POCUS as an integral part of my practice!

    “It is an honour to serve with such a wonderful team of GUSI instructors in promoting POCUS in Ukraine.
    “

    In the last two years, we have gone through a war with the post-Soviet academic community, which prohibits us from using ultrasound. With our FOCUS-POCUS team in Ukraine, we train family doctors, military medics, and paramedics in the basic protocols like FAST, BLUE, and RUSH [which are] needed during daily Russian bombing on the frontline. It is an honour to serve with such a wonderful team of GUSI instructors in promoting POCUS in Ukraine.

    “Bedside ultrasound gave me greater diagnostic certainty [in minutes], which I could share with confidence with my patients.”

    Bedside ultrasound has consistently influenced my diagnostic and management decisions. It reduces the need for “watching and waiting” or “sitting with uncertainty” by providing clear, non-invasive answers in minutes. It’s immensely rewarding for that part of me that seeks a higher level of diagnostic certainty, which I can then share with confidence with my patients. This not only builds trust and strengthens rapport but also makes me a better clinician, ultimately leading to better patient outcomes. The best way to determine if bedside ultrasound is right for you is to try it—you’ll quickly see how it can greatly enhance your professional practice.

    “It’s a solid foundation for anyone newer to OB POCUS, but still teaches plenty of advanced skills for clinicians with more experience.”

    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

    “The [GUSI] Obstetric Essentials POCUS course gave me a clear framework for how to approach obstetric ultrasound [in real clinical settings].”

    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!

    “GUSI made it possible to learn ultrasound without traveling across the country [or needing a radiology background].”

    The instructors are experienced and knowledgeable. The mentors are the best—patient, kind, knowledgeable, and supportive. The time spent with my mentor was always enjoyable. I couldn’t believe I used all my sessions [because each one was so valuable]. I’ve had an interest in ultrasound for a while but never thought I’d find a curriculum designed for non-radiologists that didn’t require multiple trips around the country. It’s not just the way the coursework 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’m having so much fun [and gaining confidence every step of the way]!!

    “…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.”

    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.

    “I am so happy that we chose GUSI to be our training platform [for POCUS education].”

    It was an absolute great experience. I am so happy that we chose GUSI to be our training platform [for POCUS education]. I would choose them again in a heartbeat.

    “As a Family Physician, I see immense value in integrating POCUS into primary care. It enhances diagnostic accuracy, improves patient confidence, and speeds up clinical decision-making—all from the bedside.

    “

    In resource-constrained environments, POCUS isn’t just helpful—it’s revolutionary!
    I’m excited to apply this skill to better serve my patients and most importantly, train others in its use.

    “The best thing that has ever happened in my nursing practice. Early referral of cases and detection of abnormal presentation especially in antenatal and labour ward has helped reduce delays that used to happen.”

    “The POCUS workshop was clinically oriented and well-taught by experienced instructors [who were patient and engaging with new learners].”

    The team at GUSI was fantastic—very knowledgeable and professional. Their POCUS workshop was clinically oriented and well-organized, and well-taught by highly experienced instructors who were engaging and patient with new learners. Our residency faculty felt that the sessions really empowered and inspired us to do more ultrasound scanning and get better at it. This was the perfect introductory course that our group needed to get a head start in POCUS, and we look forward to working with GUSI more in the future doing Tele-Ultrasound mentorship sessions.

    “GUSI provided exactly the training I needed to introduce POCUS to the community health workers I work with in rural Guatemala.”

    GUSI provided exactly the training I needed to enable me to introduce POCUS to the group of community health workers 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 community health worker 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.
