The 3rd annual Vancouver Point of Care Ultrasound (POCUS) Symposium took place on Saturday May 7, 2022 as a virtual conference. We had over 150 participants join us as our amazing faculty provided an update on the most recent trends in resuscitative, diagnostic, and clinical POCUS. 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 committee: Katie Wiskar, Ross Prager, Tracy Morton, and Ken Kaila.
