Join the Society of Critical Care Medicine (SCCM) for a new webcast series, Developing High-Impact POCUS Programs. This series equips you with practical, evidence-informed strategies to design, implement, and sustain a successful point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS) program.
Designed for both adult and pediatric critical care settings, the series addresses the real-world challenges of building ultrasound programs across academic and nonacademic practices, as well as common pitfalls. The experts use case-based examples that highlight practical decision-making and implementation strategies.
Each session is highly interactive, with dedicated time for your questions, discussion, and shared problem-solving. Participants can earn 1 accredited continuing education credit and maintenance of certification point per webcast.

3:00 p.m. – 4:00 p.m. Central Time
The first webcast delivers a practical, end-to-end roadmap for building a sustainable POCUS program in critical care. Experts will contrast fragmented, ad hoc efforts with fully integrated programs—covering governance, training, quality assurance, workflow, and funding—to highlight what truly drives long-term success. Learn how to overcome common real-world gaps; sustain momentum over time; and secure leadership support, protected time, and resources.

This webcast explores how to build and sustain a longitudinal critical care point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS) education program, from initial training to ongoing competency. Learn practical strategies for curriculum design, local teaching models, and integrating credentialing pathways such as NBE Critical Care Echocardiography and gain clear guidance on appropriate use and limitations.
Designed for educators and program leaders, this session addresses learner-specific pathways across trainees, APPs, and experienced ICU physicians, while highlighting the essential role of image review and quality assurance in maintaining education rigor and high clinical standards.
Despite widespread adoption of POCUS in critical care, many programs remain fragmented and lack formal governance, sustainable infrastructure, and integration into clinical workflow. Leaders often struggle to secure institutional support, protected time, equipment resources, and leadership buy-in, leading to inconsistent or stalled implementation.
This webcast series directly addresses these challenges by presenting a practical, end-to-end roadmap for building and sustaining effective critical care POCUS programs. It also provides actionable strategies to overcome real-world barriers and create a foundation for long-term success.
