POCUS: Outside the Hospital
The usage of Point of Care Ultrasound, or POCUS, is vital to improving patient care in every department of a hospital or a medical practice. Expanding the use of POCUS in fields outside the four walls and confines of a building is just as vital to improving care to the greater community. In fact, Point of Care Ultrasound can save lives and provide vital information in a number of scenarios beyond how a doctor or nurse may perceive it within their standard care.
Using POCUS for COVID-19
Maverick Medical Education has always been passionate about training medical professionals in a wide array of techniques to provide communities with the best care and treatment options. We also reap the benefits of seeing how the techniques we are invested in can be utilized in different ways, rapidly adapting to serve the needs of our patients. While we intrinsically understand the importance of Point of Care Ultrasound (POCUS) in multiple settings, we never imagined the benefits it may have to help medical teams in treating a global pandemic.

Maverick Medical Education Update
A lot has transpired over the past week to say the least! Stringent recommendations have be made regarding travel and group contact with the C-19 virus. Due to these recommendations and keeping the safety of all involved in mind, we have decided to formally cancel all Maverick courses scheduled in April. We are very blessed with supportive clients and hope that you take this opportunity to support your local businesses who are struggling during this stressful time. Stay safe and our prayers are will everyone during this time.
Death of the Stethoscope
The stethoscope is such a normalized piece of equipment, it is constantly associated with the medical field. Doctors, nurses, physician assistants, and even dress up sets are rarely seen without a stethoscope slung around the neck or tucked away in a pocket. The stethoscope wasn’t always a part of routine medical examinations, however, and the use of this equipment revolutionized the field and care of patients. Just as the stethoscope altered medicine in the early 1800s, so too is point of care ultrasound, or POCUS. Ultrasound technology is being fine tuned and used in various medical settings, changing much about diagnostic and management in patient care.
What We Teach: Advanced Regional Anesthesia
Maverick Medical Education is committed to getting members of the community out of pain and back to their regular lives in any way possible. So firm is our commitment, we train other providers in the techniques we have mastered along the way. Our courses are on the cutting edge of medial practices. Once our Essentials course is completed, students have the option of continuing their education with our Advanced course, to further their skills and knowledge.
