Thoracic Ultrasound Training Programme – Part Two 2024
Thoracic Ultrasound Training Programme – Part Two 2024 is organized by European Respiratory Society (ERS) and will be held from Jun 13 - 14, 2024 at Bristol, England, United Kingdom.
Description:
This two-day course will focus on practical aspects of thoracic ultrasound procedures including demonstrations on volunteers, and discussion and interpretation of clinical cases. Each of the six topics will begin with a short overview with selected key elements and pitfalls.
Following the course, all participants will create a portfolio of 10 TUS scans and review five cases from other participants.
Participants who attend the course and complete the post-course requirements will be awarded a certification of completion for part two and will be eligible to proceed to part three of the TUS training programme. Part three will take place in September (date to be confirmed) at ERS Congress in Vienna.
The thoracic ultrasound certified training programme is a three-part programme designed to train qualified doctors to independently perform thoracic ultrasound.
