VanPOCUS 21 virtual Ultrasound Conference
Exciting news, VanPOCUS are delivering their second conference and this year it is virtual. Myself excluded (this isn’t meant to be self promotion), there is an excellent line up of speakers on the latest ‘hot’ topics bubbling up in the POCUS community. The registration fee is small ranging from $17-54 CAD to attend, and for those in Canada CME credits can be applied.
VanPOCUS also delivers 15-20 minute educational videos on various POCUS scans done by its clinical leads and past fellows, which are also hosted on LITFL.com. Check the links at the bottom of the page for videos, conference and much more (including how to do an ultrasound fellowship with the team).
