Hey crew…

it has been a full-on week following a huge weekend at TRain the UltraSound Trainer. Saturday and Sunday were amazing – with discussions and debates around education and related issues. It’s always great to come away with new ideas and points of view. Plenty of food for thought on how to improve the lot of ultrasound educators and the student experience.

So now we’re looking forward to at least a day off to celebrate Mother’s Day this weekend 🙂

Seems to have been a slower week on the news front – but why not plug your ears in and check out:

• A podcast from @ACRheum on ultrasound use in rheumatology (8 May)
• The latest Ultrasound G.E.L. podcast from @PratsEM starring @RubbleEM and @cianmcdermott (7 May)

Better head off – there’s a Sunday to plan 🙂
