Learn POCUS and visually inspect the internal organs
Point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS) is a remarkably powerful tool that augments your physical exam by looking directly inside your patient and examining their internal organs in real-time, instead of just listening. It is exponentially more powerful than a stethoscope and provides highly reliable, real-time information at the bedside to help you diagnose and rule out myocardial infarctions, pulmonary edema, pneumonia, pulmonary emolus and more.
Crystal Clear Point-of-Care Ultrasound Tutorials
POCUS Med Ed was founded by Dr. Larry Istrail, an Assistant professor of internal medicine at the University of Virginia. He is the author of multiple POCUS books and research articles. Through POCUS Med Ed or The POCUS Textbook, you can access beautifully designed and ultra-simplified POCUS tutorials, optimized for busy clinicians.
