What will I learn?
Focused Acute Medicine Ultrasound (FAMUS) is the point of care ultrasound standard created for Acute Medicine physicians to aid the management of the acutely unwell adult patient. It is endorsed by the Society for Acute Medicine and recognised by the AIM training committee as one way of achieving the mandatory AIM POCUS competencies.
Our course takes you through interactive, focused lectures, with extensive use of real-life screenshots and video clips covering the FAMUS curriculum. This course will help you in the identification of common pathological findings through ultrasound imaging in acute and internal medicine scenarios, such as pleural effusions, pneumothorax, pericardial effusions, abdominal free fluid, and deep vein thrombosis.
Course objectives
- Master the skills required for acquiring high-quality ultrasound images.
- Enhance diagnostic accuracy by integrating clinical findings with POCUS findings to formulate differential diagnoses and treatment plans promptly and efficiently.
