Adrian Böhm, who heads the course together with emergency doctor Ferdinand Konrad-Borgstädt, emphasizes the importance of the point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS) for medical specialist personnel. "We have invited ultrasound beginners and experienced professionals to expand the knowledge of the use of mobile devices," he explains. The course concept combines theory with practical training through self-study, workshops and realistic scenariot training units, as is also clear on the website of the Pocus project. The participants not only learn how to deal with the technology, but also how ultrasound is effectively used in the prehospital setting to improve patient care. The response was overwhelming, which underlines the increasing demand for such practice-oriented training, as pocus-project.de emphasized.
