Overview

Initially piloted for several months with residents, we are now conducting POCUS workshops for hospitalists, with the goal of ultimately making this curriculum more widespread within the residency. We are focusing on a limited but high-yield curriculum in volume assessment that includes JVP, IVC, and lung ultrasound (B-lines and pleural effusions).
