Emergency Medicine Point-of-Care Ultrasound

Point-of-care ultrasound is an integral skill when practicing emergency medicine. Calgary emergency physicians have a passion for this exciting modality. The vast majority of Calgary ED physicians have been trained to the basic EDE I standards and many others have taken additional courses thus developing advanced skills on point-of-care ultrasound.

This section of the Department of Emergency Medicine website is a repository for all things related to point-of-care ultrasound in Calgary. Our goal is to provide up-to-date information on continuing education related to this exciting subject.
