We bade farewell to our sonographer trainee cohort this week…

which was both simultaneously sad and exciting as the team are released into the wild 🙂

We truly enjoyed seeing each and every one of them grow and develop as sonographers and look forward to hearing of their successes in the clinical world.

 

News wise, have a look at:

• Dr. Daniel Theodoro, MD from Washington University in St. Louis, MO talks about tranesophageal echo in cardiac arrest and how TEE can improve resuscitative care from @MH_EMultrasound (21 June)
• Point-of-care ultrasonography in acute kidney injury from @NephroP (19 June)

See you next week

Have you considered using or do use VR to teach #ultrasound?

In this research using VR assisted training was found to result in similar outcomes to the traditional face-to-face method.

Thoughts??https://t.co/tSa5VdnM0e#ultrasoundtraining #POCUS pic.twitter.com/I0eb68sOey
