Practicality and Feasibility of Training Clinicians With POCUS

Video Transcription

Video Summary

In a talk on training for point-of-care ultrasound, the speaker detailed a program established in 2011 for Advanced Practice Providers (APPs), primarily nurse practitioners, as well as for physician fellows. The program includes didactic content, rotations with ultrasonographers, and hands-on skills labs, aiming to integrate ultrasound into critical care training successfully. They also offer a condensed boot camp for new hires. Despite challenges like virtual sessions during the pandemic, the program successfully boosts participants' confidence and proficiency in ultrasound use. Ongoing training and credentialing are considered essential for maintaining competency and potential reimbursement opportunities.
