If you’re attending to meet the requirements of your own local health authority – and attending a course is all that’s required – then the answer may be yes.

If you’re attending to meet the requirements of your own local health authority and they require validation of your skills via an external/third party credentialing provider – such as the POCUS Certification Academy or ASUM – then no.

If it’s all too confusing and causing you a headache we can help you navigate the credentialing quagmire – please get in touch.

Yes there is – but it’s not too onerous. We recommend you at least revise your physics by watching the short videos before you arrive – the other material you can review as you go, or afterwards.

Yes indeed. Make sure you bring your chargers and accessories too.
