Rapid clinical decisions can make all the difference in a fast-paced veterinary setting. This hands-on course equips DVMs and RVTs with the skills to perform a focused Point-of-Care Ultrasound (POCUS) exam, an essential tool for assessing sick or unstable patients.
You’ll learn how to systematically scan the chest and abdomen to detect free fluid or free air—vital information that can help steer your diagnostic and treatment decisions with confidence. The course includes a step-by-step lecture followed by a practical wet lab, allowing you to build your skills in real time.
You’ll also receive an introductory overview of abdominal ultrasound, helping you understand key landmarks and image acquisition techniques. While further training is required to master full abdominal studies, this course provides the perfect launchpad to begin your ultrasound journey.
Whether you're just getting started or looking to sharpen your diagnostic edge, this course offers a practical, approachable way to bring ultrasound into everyday practice.
