Pediatric Point of Care Ultrasound Course
Hands-on Pediatric POCUS Training for Emergency and Acute Care Practice
A one-day hands-on pediatric POCUS course covering pediatric lung, abdominal, renal, FAST, cardiac, vascular access, and clinical case-based ultrasound applications.
Course Overview
This one-day Pediatric Point of Care Ultrasound course introduces clinicians to practical pediatric ultrasound applications in emergency and acute care settings.
Participants learn focused pediatric POCUS approaches for lung assessment, abdominal and renal ultrasound, pediatric FAST, focused cardiac evaluation, vascular access, and common bedside ultrasound scenarios.
The course combines focused teaching, clinical case discussions, live demonstrations, and supervised hands-on scanning to help clinicians apply pediatric POCUS safely and effectively in real-world clinical practice.
Who Should Attend?
Emergency medicine physicians, pediatric physicians, critical care physicians, general practitioners, family medicine physicians, residents, and clinicians involved in pediatric emergency, acute care, and bedside ultrasound assessment.
