Testimonials
“The caveat was that we needed to pay money. For those of us who agreed to pay it was worth the two weeks because after that, the practice just changed. We were able to do diagnosis by the bedside and patients were moving faster than before, I mean in terms of clinical practice it really changed a lot. In addition, I was able to do other projects that were ultrasound related that required someone to have been certified by an ultrasound course. I think the joy about this program is the fact that, you know, we keep teaching new people how to do things.”

“What I like most about CPOCUS’s approach is the deconstructed, step-by-step image acquisition process which is then drilled in through a bootcamp training model. I believe it is the quickest way for a trainee to progress from novice to mastery in a short amount of time. It is also the quickest way to develop faculty who all speak the same language and employ the same image acquisition process. This is different from other training programs to which I have been exposed. This is a solid training program for any setting but uniquely suited for low resource settings where trainers and teaching time are limited.”

“The training and probe made a huge difference in my practice. Every day I scan about 8 to 10 patients especially OB/GYN and abdominal scans in trauma. In one day alone, I found a molar pregnancy and 8 patients with abdominal bleeding. Thank you”
