minger1 Posted February 22, 2016 Share Posted February 22, 2016 Has anyone taken any courses in Ultrasound that they would recommend? Looking for a class/course for usage in ED/ICU settings. Thanks in advance Marc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FfIghter23 Posted February 22, 2016 Share Posted February 22, 2016 There are many out there. What is your primary goal? Learning Cardiac exam? Vascular procedures? Musculoskeletal? Trauma/FAST? It's hard to cover all in one setting. Learning vascular procedures and musculoskeletal pathology/injections is probably best for EM. Doing bedside Cardiac exam and vascular procedures is best for ICU setting. Of those that I've heard good things about: SEMPA usually has some workshops at their conference. ACEP has basic and advanced ones and gives discounts for PAs www.emergencyultrasound.com --> has many different courses as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boatswain2PA Posted February 22, 2016 Share Posted February 22, 2016 Took a class at SEMPA conference that was ok, but very brief. Then used US every chance I got. Then went to a 2 day class at Advanced Health Education Corporation (AHEC) to get more formal training. Working on credentialing now.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
medic25 Posted February 23, 2016 Share Posted February 23, 2016 FYI, SEMPA now has a separate ultrasound course; the first one was this past November. http://www.sempa.org/Events/Emergency-Ultrasound-Course/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
