MAKING POCUS PAtient focused
|
.We believe that the use of Point-Of-Care Ultrasound (POCUS) in the Emergency Department improves patient care and patient outcomes.
EMUGs was created to advocate for the use of POCUS in the Emergency Department and to form a collaborative learning network for all POCUS users including FACEMs, Trainees, Sonographers and all Emergency Service Providers. |
What is EMUGs?
|
EMUGs is a not-for-profit, special interest group focused on progressing POCUS in Emergency Medicine.
Formed in 2015 by a small group of NSW Emergency Physicians, EMUGs now consists of a wide range of people throughout Australasia who are passionate about improving POCUS education, supervision and support for Emergency Medicine trainees, consultants and other clinicians in a controlled clinical environment. |
