EDTUx is an advanced point of care ultrasound course for those who have completed and consolidated their basic ultrasound skills. A broad range of modules, including resuscitative, diagnostic, and procedural applications, have been combined into a comprehensive one-day course. This course is relevant to emergency physicians, critical care physicians, internists, family physicians, and residents in these specialties.
Like EDTU, EDTUx maximizes hands-on instruction time by using a low learner to faculty ratio as well as a flipped classroom model where instructional lectures are accessed by participants prior to the start of the course. EDTUx also emphasizes the appropriate clinical integration of point of care ultrasound findings into actual patient management with the use of case-based scenarios.
EDTUx encompasses advanced point of care ultrasound applications for problems you encounter on every shift.
