Vancouver POCUS Symposium

placeholder image-wide

The 4th annual Vancouver Point of Care Ultrasound (POCUS) Symposium took place on Saturday May 6, 2023 as a hybrid conference. It was brilliant to meet again and connect in-person! We were delighted to host Dr. Felipe Teran as a special speaker – he gave an excellent talk about the emerging use of TEE across emergency and critical care environments. If you registered, you’ll be able to access recorded versions of all the talks for the next year. A big thanks to our amazing organizing committeeKatie WiskarRahim Manji, and Ross Prager.

If you missed registration and missed the conference altogether, you can purchase Vancouver POCUS23 On Demand!
