Point-of-Care Ultrasound KEG

Good morning! 

I want to apologize for not being more present on our KEG discussions! We were working on some technical aspects to see how much we could organize it for all of you.

I just want to direct your attention to our library. Russ and I thought it would be great if we could build a repository of images and cases along with guidelines that you might be using at your institution and are willing to share. This could be in relation to the structure of a POCUS program or your teaching strategies. 

Russ and I put together some categories and sub-categories but we were unable to create sub-category sections. Below is a basic structure for image type. There are many open sources for images out there but this could certainly be a great way to share ours with each other, to use for teaching and personal growth.  You can drop your (de-identified) images or cases into the categories in the library section. Please just label if it is normal, abnormal and with what pathology and if it is peds or adult. 

Please let us know if you have ideas for this group!  this is entirely for you!

Thanks guys!

Sarah and Russ
