Good morning from Downunder…

everybody is back on board, jetlag has abated and all revved up to introduce some new and exciting teaching methods across our courses – watch this space 🙂

Get yourself revved up too with the latest FOAMed ultrasound resources – seems like gastric ultrasound is flavour of the week – take a look at:

• More goodies from Matt’s team at MetroHealth (@MH_EMultrasound) – this time gastric POCUS (19 April)
• Amit and Jeff enter the gastric discussion in the @BlockIt_Hot_Pod podcast (16 April)
• Listen in as @PratsEM discusses MAPSE for LV dysfunction in the US Gel Podcast (15 April)

There’s some really good stuff.

Off to write some lesson plans now!
