    what you’ll learn

    Designed for Medical Educators Building POCUS Into the Curriculum

    SAVE MY SPOT IN ZOOM
    This webinar explores practical ways to introduce and strengthen POCUS within undergraduate medical education.

    Medical schools are finding new ways to teach ultrasound alongside anatomy, physical examination, and clinical reasoning. This session looks at how POCUS can be integrated into the curriculum, supported by faculty, and assessed as students progress through training.

    ✅ Explore where POCUS can fit within the medical school curriculum, from foundational sciences through clinical rotations.
    ✅ Learn how educators can connect ultrasound with anatomy, physical examination, and clinical reasoning rather than teaching it as an isolated skill.
    ✅ Understand practical approaches to faculty development and instructional capacity as POCUS education expands.
    ✅ Review ways to assess student competency and support progression in image acquisition, interpretation, and clinical application.

    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.

    “GUSI was the resource that I needed to learn this new skill. The approach to teaching is relevant and effective for the busy primary care provider. “

    The videos are short, yet very organized and understandable. The tips for effective image acquisition are extremely helpful. The pathology image library brings it all together. The mentors in the mini-fellowship have provided excellent feedback that have helped my skills to grow in meaningful ways. Our institution used GUSI to introduce POCUS into our department of Family Medicine and have been very pleased.

    “This has been an amazing experience. I can’t thank you enough. I feel like I have learned so much. “

    Every time I met with my mentors my skills got better. As I went through, the feedback from my scan reviews they were never just rubber stamp sign-offs. I received feedback that pushed my skills to the next level. The highest praise I can give is that I feel comfortable enough to use my ultrasound skills in my clinical decision making. I also have the skills to perform and document my exams in a time efficient manner which is required in a busy office. Armed with my new learned skills and confidence I use my ultrasound constantly in clinical practice. I look forward to signing up for another fellowship to build my skills further.

    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.

    “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!

    “

    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.

    “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.
