What a huge week…

straight off the back of the ASA conference, into a full week of emergency medicine training. Whew! No rest for us wicked ultrasuond educators. Thank goodnesss it’s the solstice this weekend – looking forward to the days getting lighter and longer with more sunshine after work to recharge🌞

This week the news was coming thick and fast! There’s a load of great stuff – we recommend checking out🚀✨

• Echocardiographic Diagnosis of Rheumatic Heart Disease: Substantial Agreement, Inter-Rater Reliability and Accuracy Between Cardiac Sonographers and Paediatric Cardiologists (20 June)
• Training non-expert users in cardiopulmonary point-of-care ultrasound using a virtual curriculum and tele-consultation model: A multicentre study (17 June)
• Is ultrasound training sustainable? A systematic review of competency retention in healthcare trainees (16 June)

And don’t forget – if you are planning to use your CME for a ultrasound training and system bundle be sure to get in touch with Michael over the next week or so to get the ball rolling – time will soon be short 🙂

See you next week
