Physicians working in the ICU are emerging as the latest group to foster the power of the new portable ultrasound equipment.  Similar to emergency physicians, most intensivists did not learn ultrasound during their training and therefore need education to bridge this gap. 

Each course is taught by an intensivist with extensive experience in the daily use of ultrasound in their practice.
