EM CPoCUS Course

July 6-7-8, 2022
8:00 am – 6:30 pm
NOSM University

By participating, you will allow Emergency Medicine residents training in your community to learn to use ultrasound to look for potentially life threatening conditions.

As a model, you will help training physicians to distinguish between what a normal person looks like on the inside, and something abnormal they need to recognize quickly to save lives. You will also see some medical training in action.

While you are with us, the trainee will put an ultrasound probe on your abdomen or possibly upper chest just below the collarbone. They will press or move probe around. THIS WILL NOT HURT AND IT IS NOT DANGEROUS. It can get a little slimy since gel is used to ensure sound transmission through the skin.

Females must be comfortable wearing a sports bra or tank top, and male models need to be shirtless. You will be asked to provide your age, gender and BMI to ensure medical trainees learn to scan on models representative of population. The course will take place at NOSM University (Medical School building) Lakehead University campus, 1st floor.

You would be requested to participate in blocks of about 1.5 to 2.5 hours. Participants will be compensated for their time. High school students may be compensated for their time OR be assigned volunteer hours.
