Welcome to hands-on training tools
Welcome to the Interactive PoCUS Learning Hub – your comprehensive resource for training in the ‘interpretation’ and ‘medical decision making’ stages of the I-AIM education model for point-of-care ultrasound (PoCUS). These resources are tailored to enhance hands-on learning by providing a plethora of ultrasound clips that reveal diverse pathologies, accompanied by instructional materials that elucidate the intricacies within the body. Ideal for both novices and seasoned professionals, these resources are crafted to supplement live training sessions and enrich your interpretative skills in PoCUS as part of a holistic educational program.
Our resources provide:
- Pathology collections for visual demonstrations to juxtapose normal findings against a spectrum of pathologies.
- Real-life case scenarios to stimulate critical thinking and medical decision-making.
- Visual teaching aids – anatomical drawings and animated representations to clarify the sonographic windows into the human body.
Use these resources to enrich your hands-on ultrasound training, transforming knowledge into actionable expertise.
Pathology training
Collections of ultrasound video clips that display real patient pathologies. These clips serve as a visual aid to complement your hands-on training sessions, allowing trainers to illustrate various conditions in detail. With these resources at hand, you can enhance your teaching sessions, ensuring your trainees gain a clear understanding of diverse pathological presentations.
Case training
This section is dedicated to fostering practical diagnostic skills, integral to the ‘medical decision making’ stage of the I-AIM education model. As an instructor, you’ll find collections of ultrasound clips derived from real patient scenarios that do more than merely showcase conditions. They recreate the diagnostic journey, providing both context and narrative to echo the complexity of medical decision-making. Incorporating these case studies into your training sessions, you will navigate your trainees through the subtleties of patient evaluation, sharpening their critical thinking, interpretation proficiency and decision-making.

Visual teaching aids
The PoCUS visual teaching aids section is your visual gateway to understanding ultrasound imaging. Here, you’ll find a diverse collection of instructional materials, including detailed anatomical drawings and animated representations that clarify the sonographic windows into the human body. The aids are tailored to bridge the gap between theory and practice, making complex anatomical structures comprehensible and ultrasound findings more accessible.
