We’re into February already…

which means it’s the last month of summer down here at Zedu HQ. We’ll be making the most of the last of the long days and warmer weather.

Highlights from this week include @MH_EMultrasound covering ultrasound guided airway management, @coreultrasound on soft tissue ultrasound, @dan__kim on peritonsillar abscess and @PratsEM on POCUS and sedation.

There’s much more so be sure to scan through.

That’s all for now – have a great weekend.

See you next week.

Suean and Mike

P.S. – don’t forget to tune into us on Spotify – we’ve got an ultrasound playlist guaranteed to keep your POCUS rocking!

P.P.S. The recording of the first Coaching Corner for 2023 – covering the tips & tricks you can use to take the pain out of foreign bodies – will be uploaded soon. In the meantime chaeck the back catalogue of ultrasound topics here – there’s someting for everyone.

Get the most out of your teaching moments – join our TRain the UltraSound Trainer (TRUST) course This isn’t a course on how to perform an ultrasound examination or use the technology – it’s designed to give you the teaching tools you’ll need to teach ultrasound on the run. In the words of a previous participant – it’s meta!
