Zedu Weekly Wrap - 26 November 2021

An unusual week this week…

in so far as there were no freak weather events, natural or unnatural disasters or further viral incursions that impacted our ability to deliver training. Came as quite the relief!

A tonne of good stuff this week – we recommend checking out Courtney Smalley’s research (@SmallsSono) on training mid-late career physicians in #POCUS. Some interesting findings and food for though – we’d love to hear your opinion. This article is one of several gems in the latest edition of the POCUS Journal – a must read for the weekend.

And as always let us know if there is something you’d like to promote or if there is something we missed.

See you next week.

Mike and Suean

Medicine in the 21st century operates on pictures, not text. #POCUS is only useful to your colleagues and consultants if they can see the images. A picture is worth a thousand words, and likely more. @dan___kim @CJEMonline https://t.co/HOcoUg884R
