We’re on Halloween’s Eve…

which is the perfect season for ultrasound with it’s blacks and whites, bats sounds and spooky artifacts. We’ll be hanging out for some treats this weekend 🙂

Plenty of tricks and treats delivered this week from around the world. Jeff Gadsden (@jeffgadsden) and #Blocktober continues, MetroHealth Emergency Ultrasound (@MH_EMultrasound) with a video on liver and spleen and a publication on POCUS for IV access by critcal care paramedics from the team led by Samuel Burton (@elburto6), research that we are proud to have contributed to in a small way.

Next week – look out for the latest Coaching Corner – live and free Thursday 3 November – 7.30pm, (AEDST) .

That’s all from us – have a Spook-tacular weekend

Suean and Mike

PS – Join the POCUS Educators / Seed Support Network on Facebook – a safe space to share education tips, resources and issues. People from around the world are joining in so come on down.

Get the most out of your teaching moments – join our TRain the UltraSound Trainer (TRUST) course This isn’t a course on how to perform an ultrasound examination or use the technology – it’s designed to give you the teaching tools you’ll need to teach ultrasound on the run. In the words of a previous participant – it’s meta! We’re running this internationally recognised course in Australia for the first time in July and October – don’t miss out.

Thanks to all who supported TRUST this weekend
Reflecting on the 2 days it's interesting what sticks – often it's the simple things that can make the largest difference
As #ultrasound educators we don't need all the answers, only the right questions
