The Future of POCUS Research

The annual conference of the Society of Clinical Ultrasound Fellowships (SCUF) is an incredible opportunity to converse and interact with many leaders in point-of-care ultrasound education and research. This is a second Special Edition podcast from the SCUF 2019 annual conference (check out the first one here GEL + FemInEM!). In this episode, we took advantage of having so many brilliant people in one place to ask them all a few question about what they think are the next steps in POCUS research. In this episode we hear from (in order of appearance):
