Quality Point of Care Ultrasound Training

CanPoCUS Academy

Learn PoCUS at your own pace with this longitudinal modular approach from CanPoCUS. The Academy includes the introductory Core course, 50 supervised scans in Aorta, eFAST, Cardiac, Obstetric and 10 in Lung and the CPoCUS Core IP exam.

We firmly believe that developing competence in PoCUS requires integrating applications into clinical care in the workplace. Our approach to supporting the acquisition of supervised scans involves a combination of local scanning practice, local proctored scans, remotely proctored scans and CanPoCUS IP School. Individuals will variably utilize these methods to fully meet the logged scan requirements for CPoCUS Core IP.

Individuals will be assigned an experienced PoCUS tutor, who will support them for the duration of the Academy.

Those who complete the logged scan requirements for CPoCUS Core IP will be eligible to sit the CPoCUS Core Exam. Our instructors will supervise the three components of this exam including: written, visual and practical. Exams will be run after each IP School for eligible individuals.
