Zedu Weekly Wrap - 21 February 2025

One more week until autumn hits…

and the mornings are getting noticably cooler and darker already! For those in Melbourne that means things start to heat up with the AFL season ready to kick off.

If footy isn’t your thing, there’s always one of our ultrasound courses on offer – these are hot-hot-hot! While we don’t condone gambling, we can bet your bottom dollar that there is something for you to get you kicking your ultrasound goals. And if you think you’re not quite making the grade, we can coach you one-on-one until you’re scanning like a pro 🙂

Here are some awesome ultrasound resources we think you can tackle over the weekend:

Ximena Wortsman and her work on the use of ultrasound in HS (19 February)
BMUS newly updated guidance on invention prevention practice for using ultrasound gel (17 February)
Sam Hutching and Jacques Duranteau on using POCUS in the critically ill trauma patient (19 February)

Checking out for the week – see you in a week.
