POCUS Education
The only thing more important than choosing the right POCUS equipment is choosing the right POCUS education provider to take you and your team to the next level. Take a look at our recommended ultrasound educators from around the world.
The biggest barrier preventing ultrasound adoption, as pointed out in many publications over the years, is training and education. Ultrasound is a user-dependent modality, and it requires adequate training and practice to master. While we all agree that the reward is worth the effort, it isn’t always an easy problem to solve—every user is in a different place, and every institution has different needs. That’s why we’ve put together our POCUS Education resource page with our recommended ultrasound education providers from around the world. Some providers offer full on-site training courses, others offer on-demand resources, while still others offer tele-ultrasound consultations and everything in between. Pair the education you receive from one of these expert providers with our Kosmos onboard AI assistance and you have a winning combination to fast-track your POCUS education!
Kosmos EDU is our all-new, specialized educational application crafted to elevate point-of-care ultrasound education and training. Whether you’re new to ultrasound or exploring new clinical applications for your practice, Kosmos EDU offers a unique learning environment. With cutting-edge educational AI and a full range of traditional imaging capabilities—from 2D and M-Mode to PW, TDI, and CW Doppler—Kosmos EDU helps you sharpen your skills and elevate your training experience.
