EMED 2003 EXPLORE PT OF CARE ULTRASOUND
EMED 2003 is designed to introduce to students a fundamental understanding of goal-directed point of care ultrasound, a method of examination that answers specific and important clinical questions. Drawing upon the skills of basic anatomy knowledge, clinical physical exam and the selection of the appropriate patient based on presenting complaint, high quality ultrasound images will be obtained at the bedside. It is expected that the student learner will be able to integrate point of care ultrasound knowledge along with other investigations into the clinical picture for a given patient scenario. The skills acquired in bedside ultrasonography will be applicable not only to emergency medicine but to other specialties including internal and family medicine, OB/GYN, critical care, surgery, anesthesiology, radiology, orthopaedics and pediatrics.
