About WINFOCUS ITU San José – Costa Rica

The International Training Unit (ITU) of Costa Rica embarked on its journey with WINFOCUS courses in 2015, marking a significant milestone in developing bedside ultrasound within the country.

This accomplishment has been made possible by the collaborative efforts of doctors hailing from diverse medical specialties, who have diligently worked towards integrating ultrasound as a routine practice in patient care.

The ITU operates in close collaboration with the College of Physicians and Surgeons of Costa Rica, thereby demonstrating the level of commitment to national-level training initiatives within the country.

Its influence has also extended beyond national boundaries, as it actively engages in training doctors from Central America. Initially focusing on training prominent physicians within each respective country, the ITU subsequently empowers these doctors to develop and conduct courses in their nations.

The ITU collaborates closely with doctors from countries such as Honduras, Nicaragua, and El Salvador. Educating numerous doctors from Costa Rica and Central America, expanding the reach of this indispensable tool in medicine. The ITU´S efforts have helped position WINFOCUS as a valuable asset in the training and professional development of many doctors.
