By now you’ve likely heard about Point-Of-Care Ultrasound (POCUS) and how the technology has potential to save time with faster diagnostic capabilities. Whether you serve in a remote area of the country with few resources or are a hospitalist who wants the ability to quickly assess lung status by the bedside, POCUS is the innovation that is changing how osteopathic internists are working – in any setting, regardless of specialty.  

ACOI is thrilled to bring POCUS to our Annual Convention for the first time at #ACOI2022, October 19-22 in Baltimore. You are invited to participate in this unique opportunity to learn more about this must-have technology. Choose one of our special in-person Point-of- Care Ultrasound (POCUS) sessions while earning CME credits and MOC points. Plus #ACOI2022 attendees who join the POCUS hands-on training at the Annual Convention can take the POCUS Academy’s certification exam for free, post-convention! The value of this in-person experience is $600!
