The Ultrasound Leadership Academy is an online ultrasound fellowship that is designed to help clinicians learn bedside ultrasound if they hadn’t gotten the training during their residencies. I was honored to be asked to revamp their curriculum as well as being on their board last year. This lecture is a recording of a live lecture that Dr. Claire Heslop gave last month on cardiac ultrasound. After the lecture myself and few of the other ULA professors have a bit of a question and answer session as well.  On a side note, Terren Trott, Ben Smith and I are going to be putting together a new live and online ultrasound course March 15-16th! We’re going to spend the first day talking about content creation and the second day talking about how to run an ultrasound division. The content creation course will cover how to create online presentations, how to use microblogging platforms (such as twitter and instagram) and how to give in-person presentations. The ultrasound management course will involve topics that will help you run a successful ultrasound program at your institution. With registration, you will be given access to the recorded lectures for 12 months after the course! Here's the link for more information: https://www.coreultrasound.com/cc_mgmt/

Cardiac Ultrasound with Claire Heslop, MD (From ULA)

This week I get the pleasure of sitting down (virtually) with Dr. Claire Heslop, a phenomenal educator and Emergency Physician in Toronto, Canada. We chat about a few of our choicest machine/patient/sonographer optimization tips.  Check out the top pearls below:  Make sure you have the right probe and have the ultrasound machine in the best setting for that specific exam. Optimize depth Optimize gain Optimize your angle of insonance (angle of the beam relative to the structure you’re scanning.  The sound beam should be perpendicular to the thing you’re looking at) Patient optimization –  Position the patient Remove leads/stickers Clean up gel   Keep your patient informed on what you’re seeing (also, ask them if they want to be informed on what you’re seeing) Think about ergonomics for the ultrasonographer –  Drop the bed rails Lower/raise patient bed Place the ultrasound machine in your line of sight.      In other news, we’ve decided to cancel in-person Castlefest this year (2020).  We had postponed it from May 2020 to November 2020 in hopes that the pandemic would be less prominent by then.  Since this likely won’t be the case, we feel that moving the conference to a virtual platform is the right thing to do.   We’re still working out details on exactly how we’re going to do this, but we do know we will offer it November 9-10th 2020 and the URL for updates will be https://www.castlefest2020.com. If you have already paid for in person Castlefest, you have two options:  Full refund We hold onto your spot (and registration) for Castlefest 2021.  If you do this, we will give you FREE ACCESS to virtual Castlefest 2020.  More details to follow soon, and if you have any questions in the meantime, please feel free to reach out! (ultrasoundpodcast@gmail.com)
