January 2023
The beginning of 2023 is a wonderful opportunity to build upon the momentum of last year’s accomplishments and reflect on the barriers that kept us from achieving our goals. Whether it is Integrating POCUS into your clinical practice, learning new POCUS skills, or establishing POCUS training in your residency, POCUS integration in 2023 is both timely and achievable! Our mission at GUSI is to offer the most complete desktop solution to integrate POCUS into postgraduate education and training.
