Zedu Weekly Wrap - 18 December 2020 | Zedu Ultrasound Training

So here we are – the final weekly wrap for 2020.

We won’t labour on reflecting on the happenings of the year and looking for deeper meaning – needless to say it’s been crap.

What we would both like to say – and this goes for everyone here – is thanks.

Thanks for your ongoing and continued support – without it we couldn’t do what we do and help you do what you do. And thanks to the generous support of our industry friends – Philips, SonoSite and GE – who have continued to believe in the value of education.

We’re here for the long haul – the good times and the bad – because we know now more than ever that what we do makes a difference.

So here’s hoping that 2021 delivers happiness and health to all of you, and we’ll see you bright and early in the New Year.

Suean and Mike

P.S. – Zedu HQ is closed from 22 December and reopens on 11 January so the weekly wrap will be back then – but if you need anything urgently we’re on the mobiles. We’ll be at the beach, but contactable (sort of).

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

P.P.P.S. – If you’re looking for #POCUS inspiration over the holidays why not review all the #coachingcorner content from the year – available for free any time.

The Surgeon’s Cut on Netflix

We found this series fascinating – not strictly #FOAMus but if you have a Netflix account this is worth a watch – the work Professor Kypros Nicolaides does is amazing.
