Couldn't be prouder of @NephroP for receiving the @ASNKidney Distinguished Educator Award at #KidneyWk! Watching him start as a @UFNephrology fellow and evolve into a pioneering leader in #POCUS has been nothing short of inspiring. Congratulations on this well-deserved honor!💐

Comparison of 6 handhelds by 35 #POCUS experts. Best image quality: Vscan Air for RUQ. Mindray for cardiac. Lumify for superficial. No handheld #1 but Vscan Air preferred. Top 5 features: image quality, ease of use, portability, probe size, battery life. rdcu.be/dVRmZ

Pleasure to be a part of this study exploring the current state of #Nephrology #POCUS in VA medical centers. Thanks to Dr. @nilamjsoni, Dr. Murray, Dr. Nathanson and team. 🔗 pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/3912… #MedEd #Nephpearls Not unsurprisingly, “ Greater desire for training was seen among nephrology groups that currently use #POCUS, suggesting initial exposure may encourage nephrologists to seek further training.”

1) More #POCUS training desired in those previously trained (🤔benefits of POCUS realized once you start using it?) 2) Lack of training = top barrier to #POCUS use 3) Majority groups have ≥1 rheumatologist already using POCUS. #OpenAccess link.springer.com/article/10…

🏥69% of @DeptVetAffairs rheumatology chiefs of staff say they want more point-of-care #ultrasound training for their team @nilamjsoni et al. surveyed all VA medical centers to learn more about the barriers. Check Healio for the details 👇 healio.com/news/rheumatology…

The 🔑 goal of a #POCUS workshop is to build a strong theoretical base and ensure proper technique, enabling participants to return to their institutions and practice with confidence. Our @nkf course accomplished it! Special thanks to @nilamjsoni and team, @JCannonNKF 🙌 @RupalMehtaMD @nephrothaniel 🔗pocusjournal.com/article/168… #Nephpearls #MedEd

Been a whirlwind in San Diego, but this is my fav clip/vid of the week, so I’m making it my @VaveHealth CMO vid. The combo of markers, cameras/projectors & @G2Disrupt teaching made it an incredibly useful #POCUS faculty dev AM on Thurs. Amazing setup by @nilamjsoni & UTSA team.
