Happy Halloween from our POCUS Posse to yours!!

[UConn USIG @UconnUsig]

We had a 🎃 👻spooktacular🎃 👻 time at our HOCUS POCUS event last night!! Students used ultrasound ‘tricks’ to complete Halloween-themed challenged, such as… 🧵

All while enjoying pizza and POCUS-themed treats!

Can’t wait for the next one!

We had so much fun at our first USIG event of the year, SLUDGE (Students Learning Ultrasound and Digesting Great Edibles)!

[UConn USIG @UconnUsig]

Students worked through a clinical case in which POCUS clinched the diagnosis, discussed applications of MSK ultrasound across specialties (with a special spotlight on PM&R given by one of our M2s), and practiced MSK scanning on each other using Butterfly IQs

Ending the evening with a message from our fearless leader: “Ultrasound is to infinity and beyond!” ✨

[UConn USIG @UconnUsig]

Aaaaand we have a winner! CONGRATS to our #UConnSonoSlam2022 champion, the Pan Scanners! 🎉🏆 🥇🎉 Amazing job to Gabe, Brock, and Annie!

And finally…Beers*, B-Mode, and Battlestar Galactica: the ultimate head-to-head test of ultrasound knowledge 🤯 📚🤓

*Beers not included 😉

For a special treat — pediatric anatomy! Or as we like to call it, sonographic munchkin’s sign 👶🏻😍

[UConn USIG @UconnUsig]

Then…Scan charades! One teammate scanning blindfolded guided by their other teammates…what could go wrong? 😅🤪

Up next: SONOPONG! 🏓🏓 🏓 Participants take their best shots and whatever you sink, you scan

Next up, a #sono scavenger hunt through a gelatinous milieu! Gotta catch ‘em all, amirite?

[UConn USIG @UconnUsig]

First up a #sonoscramble for the ages! How many would you get?

[UConn USIG @UconnUsig]

In round II, our competitors face 6 stations that will challenge them mentally, physically, and of course, Sonographically
