Point of Care Ultrasound

In this symposium on basic point-of-care-ultrasound (POCUS), Dr. David Weisman will focus on pulmonary and cardiac ultrasound imaging. Upon completion of the course, you will understand the underlying physics behind ultrasound, how to properly orient the transducer during thoracic and cardiac ultrasound, be able to identify normal cardiac and pulmonary anatomic structures, and recognize basic sonographic cardiac and lung pathology. At the end of the symposium, Dr. Weisman puts everything together with the help of some representative POCUS cases.

Learning Objectives

  • Understand the underlying physics, transducers and orientation of ultrasound
  • Identify normal anatomic structures on cardiac and pulmonary ultrasound
  • Recognize basic sonographic pathology for cardiac and lung imaging

What to Expect

Just below is a screenshot of our learning center’s Dashboard and an example of one of the test questions. On the Dashboard, you’ll find a quick-links to your subscribed courses. Each Session Home page has the session objectives, line up of modules (including single click access to the course content) and progress check boxes. After completing the evaluation and post-test (multiple attempts allowed), you’ll have one click access to your CME certificate. We also provide you with PDF’s of the slide deck and other handouts. We know you will enjoy the streamlined course navigation. Thanks to our friends at Course Merchant for help in the design of the course!

PSA is a groundbreaking education tool for any resident interested in solidifying their foundation in pulmonary and sleep medicine as well as expanding their knowledge base into the intricacies of these fields. The format is easy to follow, no matter what level of medicine you’re at. This is a valuable tool for medical students and residents. I highly recommend it to those interested in pulmonary, critical care or anesthesiology. The programs will allow you to develop a comfort level with topics that may be difficult to comprehend.

PSA was highly informative and challenging. The speakers were clear and concise in their delivery. Explanations were provided with the post questions explaining all answers. I also like the way the session was broken up.

I am a practicing Emergency Medicine physician in North Carolina and want to improve my knowledge of critical care and pulmonary topics. When I heard about PSA, I knew this would be a great way to do that. And so far through the pulmonary course, it definitely has been! It’s been both a great review of the basic medical school concepts while also introducing and explaining higher level clinical pearls. The presentations are clear and the graphics put some of the complex ideas into nice visual depictions that are way better than any text description could be. The built-in test questions and ability to earn CME are great additions as well. This has been a fantastic educational opportunity. I highly recommend it to any clinical provider who wants to advance his or her knowledge of important pulmonary topics!
