WINFOCUS in Brazil
Our journey in Point of Care Ultrasound (PoCUS) began in 2008 when we established our first contact with the WINFOCUS World. This connection allowed us to communicate our vision of point of care medicine across all regions of our country, with the primary objective of benefiting a maximum number of patients.
Our unwavering focus on providing high-quality training led us to form a distinguished group of professionals with exceptional technical capabilities who integrate PoCUS into their daily medical practice. These dedicated individuals deserve recognition through the prestigious WINFOCUS certification.
By 2022, we successfully trained over 3,000 doctors from various regions of our country.
In addition, we possess extensive expertise in teaching PoCUS during medical graduation, with programs firmly grounded in international guidelines. We believe that ultrasonography should be considered an indispensable skill woven throughout the entire medical curriculum, offering immense potential as a teaching tool.
Our impact reaches far beyond the borders of Brazil. We have conducted courses and delivered lectures in multiple countries across Latin America, North America, Europe, and Western Asia.
The rapid expansion of PoCUS is revolutionizing the field of medical practice, and our mission is to train professionals in the responsible use of this transformative tool to ensure the highest quality of patient care, regardless of their location
