The New Zealand Resuscitative Ultrasound Course

From the team who brought you the Wellington Intensive Care Medicine (WICM) course, we are proud to announce that the New Zealand Resuscitative Ultrasound Course will be held for the third time in 2024. It is based on the highly acclaimed Canadian Resuscitative Ultrasound Course (CRUS) and will be delivered by clinicians who are expert in ultrasound from both Canada and throughout New Zealand.

The focus is on practical advice for clinicians, not esoteric ultrasound ephemera.

LEARNING STRATEGIES

The course aims to convey a significant amount of cognitive & technical information in a short time. Methods used to do this include:

  • Interactive & engaging lectures with integrated real time ultrasound exam demonstration
  • Flipped classroom with pre-course lectures used to convey the relevant information that can be self-taught. This maximises time with the expert teaching acquisition and interpretation of images
  • Significant supervised time with an ultrasound probe in your hand

NZ$1950

Fees are for full attendance of all sessions over both days. The course is not-for-profit. Registration fees cover faculty costs, venue hire, and course catering. Course accommodation is not included.

HANDS-ON PERSONAL TRAINING
