Ultrasound Applications in Austere/Rural Medicine Online Course is intended for any medical professional involved with performing emergency medicine, critical care, or point-of-care ultrasound examinations in an austere and/or rural environment. This course is designed to provide a strong foundation to perform the core ultrasound applications as outlined in the ACEP ultrasound practice and WINFOCUS guidelines. Taught by leading emergency medicine ultrasound expert faculty. This self-directed course contains eighteen (18) interactive modules and includes online video lectures, case presentations, and post-activity quizzes. Enrollment is valid for 12 months (365 days) and begins the moment the participant is enrolled. Extend your online course access another 3 months with the addition of an onsite hands-on workshop at your facility, a private hands-on workshop at our facility, or blend your online course with a registration to attend a regularly scheduled GCUS scan workshop.
