Stories can help us understand behaviors often better than quantitative data. So many interesting themes came up in this #impocus piece. What themes did we miss in your experiences?
Ambulatory pocus has key differences to inpatient pocus. We should acknowledge these and tailor training to trainees and faculty accordingly says @nilan_schnure. I love this slide! #IMPOCUS#MedEd@DRsonosRD@AIUMultrasound.
Are you team curvilinear or phased array for #lungultrasound?
We asked 166 internists/trainees to interpret common lung pathologies from each probe and found:
Last week I had the incredible honor of giving a professional development talk to a group of true #ultrasound#meded experts. Great ? & convos inspired me to re-share this '19 blog: https://t.co/LYSMzEA9p6 Some things have changed, some are the same. #WomenInMedicine#heforshe

@M_ArmstrongDO had a great teaching point today in #OHSUPOCUSFellows conference. Which image shows the preferred way to measure the vena contracta of a regurgitant jet?

Shameless plug for our #AIUM sponsored General Medicine POCUS conference, come join us for an amazing weekend in Portland, OR in July with a great group of #IMPOCUS faculty and #SeeWhatYouAreMissing! https://t.co/RYcggzU8Qo
