Registration is open for ACP's live online POCUS Mentorship Program

From May through October 2024, internal medicine physicians can attend one-on-one mentored scanning sessions covering content across five key point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS) skill areas.


ACP's Point-of-Care Ultrasound (POCUS) Mentorship Program allows internal medicine physicians a chance to solidify their POCUS skills through live instruction, virtual expert-led demonstrations, online modules, and high-yield image micro-quizzes. From May through October 2024, internal medicine physicians can attend one-on-one mentored scanning sessions covering content across five key POCUS skill areas, including:

  • pulmonary ultrasound,
  • focused cardiac ultrasound,
  • kidney and bladder ultrasound,
  • evaluation of the abdomen for free fluid, and
  • focused vascular evaluations of the lower extremities for deep venous thrombosis.

Special early-bird discount registration rates for the program are available through March 15. A limited number of ultrasound units are available for those who register during the early-bird period to use at no additional cost during the length of the program.

All prospective participants must be practicing physicians and must have completed ACP's POCUS: Foundational Skills for Internal Medicine Physicians or POCUS: Advanced Skills for Outpatient Practice course or an equivalent alternate course.
