CanPoCUS Core

This introductory Point of Care Ultrasound (PoCUS) course has been designed for doctors, nurse practitioners, physician assistants who work in acute care e.g Emergency Medicine, Family Medicine, Internal Medicine, Critical Care, Surgery. It provides the core knowledge and hands-on training required to start using point of care ultrasound in your practice.

Applications covered include: Physics, Instrumentation, Aorta, Trauma (eFAST), Vascular Access, Shock, Cardiac (Echo in Life Support – ELS), Obstetric.

Using a combination of pre-reading, interactive lectures, and hands-on workstations, this course will teach the basics of Point of Care Ultrasound, and give you the confidence to start practicing.


It meets all the requirement for those wanting to progress to certification with CPoCUS Acute Care Core PoCUS Independent Practitioner (IP). If this is your intention then we would recommend also signing up for CanPoCUS IP School (up to 100 scans) or even the CanPoCUS Academy (Intro course, all required scans, IP exam).


This course includes hands-on practice with high fidelity PoCUS pathology simulation with our own CAE Vimedix Simulator (CAE Vimedix Simulator)
