Hello and welcome! I'm a professor of medicine with over two decades of clinical, teaching and research experience.
After my residency training at the University of Rochester NY / Strong Memorial Hospital, I worked at several high volume medical centers across the US. I've taught ultrasonograpy to senior medical students and am passionate about using this technology to improve patient outcomes.
This course includes
Carefully crafted lectures with summaries
Annotated ultrasound images with clear labels
Quizzes (with answers!)
A board-style practice review exam
A printable reference sheet with key concepts (keep it with you in the hospital)
A printable log sheet (essential for credentialing)
Select high-quality resources on ultrasound interpretation (free access)
Ultrasound has become one of the most valuable tools in modern medicine, offering clinicians the ability to look inside the body in real time, without radiation, and right at the bedside. This course, Ultrasound and POCUS Made Simple, is designed to give you a strong foundation in both the science and the practice of ultrasound, with a special focus on point‑of‑care ultrasound (POCUS).
We’ll begin by breaking down the physics of ultrasound into simple, practical concepts, covering how sound waves create images, how to optimize your machine settings, and how to avoid common pitfalls, while avoiding complex mathematical details not needed by clinicians. From there, we’ll explore the most important clinical indications for ultrasound, including its role in emergency medicine, internal medicine, critical care, obstetrics and gynecology, and procedural guidance. You’ll learn how to interpret ultrasound images with confidence, identifying structures such as cysts, stones, bones and air.
But this course goes beyond just “how to scan.” We’ll also discuss the limitations of ultrasound, the artifacts you’ll encounter, and the importance of integrating POCUS findings into the broader clinical picture.
Whether you are a medical student, resident, practicing physician, or allied health professional, this course will equip you with the knowledge and skills to bring ultrasound to the bedside and enhance patient care. By the end, you’ll not only understand how ultrasound works, you’ll be ready to start applying it in real clinical scenarios with greater accuracy and confidence.
What You’ll Learn
Identify key clinical scenarios where ultrasound and POCUS improve patient care
Develop confidence in interpreting ultrasound images, distinguishing normal from pathological findings
List the bedside POCUS uses across cardiac, lung, abdominal, and vascular systems
Recognize the limitations, artifacts, and pitfalls of ultrasound to avoid misinterpretation
BONUS features of this course
Obtain informed consent via natural voice conversation from a patient
Talk to an experienced ultrasonographer ... and ask questions.
Learn how to write an ultrasound report.
Grasp the foundations of ultrasound imaging from this course before you practice ultrasound on real patients.
My goal is to make this course simple, accessible, and with just the right amount of information.
All the slides are carefully designed and narrated by me.
Gain this valuable clinical skill ... in high demand.
Become confident with using ultrasound.
