It never ceases to amaze the amount of high quality ultrasound resources that get published and shared for free. We honestly don’t know where people find the time – but we’re glad they do.

This week check out the lower limb scanning videos created by Joseph Minardi and a comprehensive online echo learning platform and resource created by Peter Blahut. And – of course – the obligatory animal related story – see if you can find it.

And we’re doing a callout – if you are interested in teaching ultrasound with us and are based in Melbourne drop us a line – we need you!

Enjoy and see you soon.

Suean and Mike

P.S. – we signed off for the final #coachingcorner for 2020 last night – fractures and hematoma blocks generated some really great conversation – the recording will be up online soon. Join our community of clever and catch up with recordings of the previous sessions – available for you free any time.
