2. Point of Care Ultrasound (POCUS) with Vascular Access
This course focuses on cardiac, pulmonary, and gastric volume assessment. Vascular access with ultrasound assistance is also taught to include peripheral and central vascular access. These courses provide students with a comprehensive academic understanding of the topics, practical skills related to the topics, practiced in a hands-on lab under the watchful eyes of industry experts to gain the confidence to apply these skills.
Topics Include:
• Introduction to Ultrasound • Gastric Assessment • Pulmonary Assessment • Cardiac Assessment • eFAST Assessment • Venous Access • US Guided Vascular Access • US for Internal Jugular Access
Pick The Modality That Works Best For Your Courses
Online Didactic Modules Only
In this online only option, the Essentials and/or POCUS courses are offered in an online training format. The didactic portion is designed for each instructor to “decide and drop” the modules into the course where appropriate in the semester. The online modules easily fit into any Learning Managment System to provide smooth access for teachers and students. We also offer a variety of analytic tools to monitor student success.
Online Didactic + Cadaver Lab
In this option, the online didactic portion is combined with a scheduled 2-day training lab at your location. We provide a “flipped classroom” style in which students will complete the modules prior to scheduled lab dates. Students will practice their skills using our patented pulsatile cadavers and live models in a clinical hands-on learning environment with expert Maverick instructors.
