Point of Care Ultrasound
Point of care ultrasound use is increasing by internal medicine physicians and subspecialists to improve diagnostic timeliness and accuracy. NCH is fortunate to have a dedicated Sonosite Ultrasound machine specifically for inpatient resident use. Current residents routinely utilize POCUS for their patients.
We are developing a supervised POCUS training program, which will be integrated into our inpatient and outpatient experiences. All trainees will have introductory didactics and a copious hands-on experience.
