Learning Objectives:

At the conclusion of this session, participants will be able to:

familiarize early trainees (medical students, early internal medicine residents) with basic POCUS views: sub xyphoid, inferior vena cava, parasternal long axis, parasternal short axis, and apical four chamber view;
practice probing each of the views on healthy volunteers; and
if time allows, review pathological POCUS findings (ex. PE, tamponade)

A hands-on ultrasound session to familiarize trainees with basic POCUS views on healthy volunteers as well as identifying basic pathologies. No prior experience in POCUS necessary!
