Zedu Weekly Wrap - 25 February 2022

Autumn is just around the corner…

and it was this time two years ago that a novel spike protein was making its presence felt. We were fielding calls and talking to those higher up the food chain about potential impacts. Little were we to know what those impacts would be. Hopefully this autumn/winter season runs a little more smoothly as there are plenty of ultrasound hours to catch up on!

Covid still dominates the publications in the POCUS space – a couple this week on lung ultrasound. Who would have thought that lung ultrasound – once thought impossible – now fills such an important role today. If nephrology is your thing take a look at the POCUS JOURNAL Special edition – devoted to all things kidney and ultrasound. And the oft contentious issue of certification/credentialing also gets a guernsey – well worth a look.

As always, if there’s something on the horizon that you’d like added to our weeklywrap let us know – always here to help.

See you next week.

Mike and Suean

P.S. – the Coaching Corner for March is almost upon us – be sure to tune in March 3 at 7.30pm (AEDST). Can’t wait? Check out the entire the back catalogue here.
