Zedu Weekly Wrap - 15 July 2022

It’s Friday!! Yay…

and we’ve had a full on week – ably assisted by our new customer liaison manager Furby (see the post image). She has been doing a stellar job.

This week be sure to get your hands on Rob Ferre’s (@robmferre) Emergency Ultrasound Handbook – free this week on iTunes. It never ceases to amaze us the generosity in the pocus community. It’s also a welcome to @StreetUSound bringing another voice to the pre-hospital ultrasound space.

Other highlights include a musculoskeletal ultrasound webinar from Stuart Wildman (@swildmanphysio) and first principle recourses on artifacts from Jacob Avila (@coreultrasound) – be sure to check them out. There’s heaps more free resources to choose from – as you can see below…

PLUS – it’s not too late to register for the TRain the UltraSound Trainer course – running next weekend. Learn how to teach ultrasound faster and better.

That’s all for now…see you next week

Mike and Suean

P.S. – The August coaching corner is set – covering the basics of breast #ultrasound – how to, tips & tricks – Zooming live & free Thurs 4 August, 7.30pm (AEST) Register & join our community of clever here…

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! We’re running this internationally recognised course in Australia for the first time in July and October – don’t miss out.
