Gain the realistic training needed to perform and interpret ultrasound imaging during the skill station hands-on portion of the Critical Care Ultrasound: Adult course. Participants will receive the faculty presentations to view before participating in one of four skills-only days. This will allow immediate integration of learned skills using live models. Hands-on learning with a low faculty-to-attendee ratio includes topics such as cardiac output, left/right ventricular function, focused assessed transthoracic echocardiography examination, vascular ultrasound, and ask the expert.
