How was your Star Wars Day?

We had a fun time on the Coaching Corner talking about tips and tricks for imaging twins to help you up your ultrasound Jedi skills. We’ll get the recording up in the next week or so.

Resources of note this week include a presentation on mitral valve EPSS from @The_echo_lady, testicular torsion from Jailyn @coreultrasound and a podcast on POCUS in military medicine from @WardocsPocast. Allthis and more worth checking out.

Better run – have a TRUST course to organise for tomorrow!

See you next week…

Suean and Mike

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!
