Description
It is widely established that the use of point of care ultrasound (POCUS) and echocardiography (echo) are vital tools in assessing chronic and acute pathologies in inpatient and outpatient settings. Pathologies include but are not limited to trauma, cardiac disease, fluid collection, abscesses, organ system assessment, and much more. At many institutions, access to POCUS and echo education isn't readily available to providers, especially advanced practice providers (APPs). This is typically due to a lack of resources such as equipment, expertise in POCUS and echo education, infrastructure for billing, and image storage. With the growth in clinical simulation and innovative technology, POCUS and echo education has expanded to APPs within our institution.
