Discover how the Wessex Deanery transformed FAMUS training by creating a scalable Point-of-Care Ultrasound (POCUS) education program using Butterfly iQ handheld ultrasound devices. In this webinar, Dr. Ramsingh, Dr. Dominic Funnell, and trainees share how they overcame common barriers to ultrasound education and helped Internal Medicine trainees achieve FAMUS accreditation in as little as 6ā12 months.
Learn how handheld ultrasound, structured mentorship, simulation training, cloud-based image review, and regional collaboration have improved access to ultrasound education while reducing the time needed for accreditation. Whether you're an Internal Medicine trainee, emergency physician, critical care clinician, GP, educator, or healthcare leader, this webinar provides practical strategies for implementing a successful ultrasound training program.
