This program is an online certification program designed to provide independent validation of a clinical provider’s proficiency in three (3) specialty clinical areas. Each specialty clinical area of this POCUS Certification is comprised of three components: a Clinical Case-Based Assessment, a Peer Evaluation, and VideoSubmissions. This certification also includes access to e Sono Ultrasound Simulator.
Clinical Case-Based Assessment: The clinical certifications were developed using a standard template that has been customized for each specialty. The clinical case-based assessments are designed to simulate a clinical encounter. Question types range from multiple choice to hotspots. For hotspots, you will be asked to locate the requested feature within the interactive image provided.
Peer Evaluations: The peer evaluation is designed to assess your practical abilities in POCUS. Clinicians of your choosing will be sent ananonymous questionnaire to evaluate your POCUS abilities. Assessment results are based on the first two evaluations received.
Video Submissions: The video submission is designed to assess your practical abilities in POCUS. You will submit two videos per clinical area: one without pathology, and one with identified pathology. All videos must be HIPAA compliant, .mp4 formatted, and 5-60 seconds long.
e Sono Ultrasound Simulator: e Sono’s ultrasound simulator lets you train on real clinical ultrasound scenarios anytime, anywhere. It features comprehensive real-patient cases with immediate feedback and detailed explanations, enhancing your scanning and diagnostic skills.
