A Look Back At POCUS for Primary Care, San Francisco

On October 15–16, 2026, primary care clinicians came to the Hilton San Francisco Financial District for two days of in-person Point-of-Care Ultrasound training. The course mixed high-yield lectures with immersive hands-on scanning sessions, so attendees could build practical ultrasound skills for everyday clinical care.

The course used a flipped classroom model with low instructor-to-learner and learner-to-ultrasound ratios, which gave every participant as much time on the probe as possible.

Attendees learned from physician-instructors who are both expert educators and skilled POCUS practitioners. Participants could earn up to 38.5 CME credits: 13.5 from the in-person course and 25 from the GUSI POCUS Essentials Online Course, which they can keep using through November 16, 2026.

“The best course ever.”

The OB POCUS Essentials and Hands-on review was the best course ever.

“The perfect introductory course to give our residency faculty a head start in POCUS.”

The team at GUSI was fantastic — very knowledgeable and professional! Their POCUS workshop was clinically oriented and well-organized / 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.

“The best two days ever — I’m now far more confident with MSK POCUS.”

The workshop was genuinely the best two days ever! I had so much fun and learned a lot. I used to be intimidated by MSK POCUS, but after this training, I feel so much more confident.

“I learned more in a single day than I thought possible.”

I want to learn everything! I don’t think I would’ve learned this much in a single day if it weren’t for this course. It’s been exciting, and I’m learning so much.

“This training lets us actively contribute in clinical settings, not just observe.”

This training gives us a way to actively contribute in clinical settings rather than just observing.

“Intensive, high-quality training that was even better than I expected — a game-changer.”

It was intensive, packed with high-quality training, and even better than I expected! We covered all systems, and I never thought I could acquire these skills so easily. Now, I don’t just see the holistic picture—I see it through the lens of ultrasound. It’s a game-changer in clinical decision-making. The workshop was packed with directly applicable knowledge and hands-on sessions with expert guidance. Every skill was mastered to ensure we could apply them in practice. I recommend it to every medical professional without a doubt!

“I feel 110% more prepared to start residency because of this training.”

This course was exceptional! I feel 110% more prepared to start residency this summer because of this training. Point-of-Care Ultrasound is amazing! I especially loved the DVT ultrasound, OB-GYN, and MSK sections.

“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.

“Lively, engaging and thought-provoking.”

It was very lively, engaging and thought provoking. Clear and precise presentation.

“An excellent seminar — I hope to continue with GUSI.”

The seminar was excellent, and I hope to continue with you.

“Focused lectures followed by immediate hands-on application.”

I really liked the focused lecture material followed by immediate hands on application

“Great hands-on with instructors who make you comfortable.”

Hands on was great. Instructors make you feel / Comfortable.

“Lectures with real-time MSK scanning.”

I really enjoyed the lectures that incorporate real time scanning (MSK)

“Can’t ask for better training and setups.”

Can’t ask for better training and setups. Especially very enthusiastic experienced & fun instructors.

“Excellent engagement from amazing instructors.”

Excellent course. Excellent engagement and knowledge base from some amazing instructors. Thank you!!

“Engaging, knowledgeable and wonderful instructors.”

Sabi, Laura, Ben and the IM doc (lung) were incredible. So engaging, knowledgeable and wonderful!

“An incredible, must-have instructor and presenter.”

Sally Graglia was incredible, absolutely must have instructor and presenter
