It’s a long weekend here in Melbourne…

as we prepare for a small horse race! So I’ll make this short and sweet as everyone is champing at the bit to get out the door 🙂

Highlights we recommend looking at before you bolt include:

• Yale Tung-Chen (@yaletung) on POCUS for diaphragmatic dysfuntion
• Ivanna Maxson (@IvannaMaxson) on competency based POCUS training (a topic dear to our hearts)

We’re about to head out of the gates now!

See you next week (depending if my horse comes in)…

scheduled and one-on-one options that will get you scanning like a pro.

Get the most out of your teaching moments – join our TRain the UltraSound Trainer (TRUST) course This isn’t a course on how to perform an ultrasound examination or use the technology – it’s designed to give you the teaching tools you’ll need to teach ultrasound on the run. In the words of a previous participant – it’s meta!
