A huge thank you to all those learners, faculty, vendors and staff (esp the CSTAR staff and Rebecca Rondinelli) for making this a memorable experience!

Critical Care Ultrasound Course 2013 a Great Success https://westernsono.ca/featured/critical-care-ultrasound-course-2013-a-great-success/ Sun, 25 Aug 2013 12:43:04 +0000 https://westernsono.ca/?p=957 The 2013 Critical Care Ultrasound course was a tremendous success.  This 2 day course that took place over Aug 22-23 at CSTAR at University Hospital was regarded as the most successful course to date.  The sold out course lead 36 participants through lung and pleural ultrasound, vascular access and a full day of critical care echocardiography.  The course benefited from a deep roster of extremely talented instructors that allowed to provide a 2:1 participant to faculty ratio.  We are already planning for next year’s course – mark your calendar for August 21-22, 2014!  See some pictures from this year’s course below.
