Zedu Weekly Wrap - 4 April 2025

Has been a huge week…

with a (literally) flying visit to Florida and the Annual AIUM conference. It’s always a great opportunity to learn the latest in POCUS and ultrasound technology, applications, and approaches to education to bring back DownUnder to our Zedu courses.

Suean presented on her recently published GOOSE framework – providing a practical model for teaching ultrasound – which was well received. Sharing and exporting knowledge is always a joy – lets hope it’s not subject to any tariffs soon…

Rapidly moving away from politics, check out a couple of gems in this week’s issue 🚀✨

What happens when POCUS meets AI by Josh Guttman from Peachtree POCUS (3 April)
The US Gel Podcast live from ACOEP discussed pediatric lung ultrasound, adult nerve blocks, and a lot in between (31 March).

Time for the weekend – enjoy!
