Description
Trauma Ultrasound Online Course is for emergency medicine, critical care, or point-of-care medical professionals and provides topics based ACEP emergency ultrasound practice guidelines. Taught by leading emergency medicine ultrasound expert faculty. This self-directed course contains eight (8) modules, online video lectures, case presentations, and post-activity quizzes. Enrollment is valid for 12 months (365 days) and begins the moment the participant is enrolled. Extend your online course access another 3 months by coordinating a private hands-on workshop at the GCUS education facility, registration for a regularly scheduled GCUS scan workshop, or onsite education for groups of 5 or more participants.
