Point of Care Ultrasound (POCUS)
Training 2024:
Mark your calendars for this workshop and join us
at the CHSC headquarters for this important class,
March 20-21, 2024.
Point of Care Ultrasound (POCUS), has become a mainstay of healthcare in many settings from ER, to family medicine, OB/GYN, and to many global health settings. It has proven a life-saving and treatment directing practice for myself and in my work all around the world. It is our belief at CHSC that anyone going and working in global health should probably have some experience with this modality.
POCUS can truly guide and help in life changing decisions in global health. If you would like to learn more about this invaluable skill, join us for a 2 day in person and hands-on workshop. We will be exploring basic ultrasound principles and have ample time to practice with handheld, bedside ultrasound techniques utilizing the Butterfly IQ+ system.
