Pang, PhD; Amer M. Johri MD, MSc, FRCPC, FASE – In response to the growing demand for bedside ultrasound skills, medical schools in Canada and internationally have attempted to integrate point of care ultrasound (POCUS) into their curriculum. This is traditionally done in small groups with in-person sessions. However, this method is resource-intensive and requires sufficient equipment and expertise.
Reviewed by: Daniel Restrepo, MD, FHM – Drs. Clare and Duncan, as well as the contributing authors for the chapters have compiled a comprehensive and complete work that champions the practice of point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS) by generalists, denoting its myriad utilities and diagnostic power.
