Credit
Description
This blended learning course includes didactic lectures, hands-on sessions, and pathologic image interpretation with cases using an ultrasound simulator.
The course was created to address a knowledge gap related to practitioners performing and interpreting Point of Care Ultrasound. The gap exists due to recent advances in ultrasound technology resulting in portable machines of high quality and lower cost and rapid adoption of ultrasound imaging at the point of care.
In support of improving patient care, MedStar Health is jointly accredited by the Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education (ACCME), the Accreditation Council for Pharmacy Education (ACPE), and the American Nurses Credentialing Center (ANCC), to provide continuing education for the healthcare team. This activity was planned by and for the healthcare team, and learners will receive 11.0 Interprofessional Continuing Education (IPCE) credits for learning and change.
