Our training Unit has its headquarters in Guadalajara city, which is made up of certified trainers in Critical care Ultrasound coordinating WINFOCUS courses within Mexican territory.
Our educational team comprises Critical Care Medicine specialists who use “Ultrasound as a Stethoscope” during their daily Intensive Care practice.
WINFOCUS GUADALAJARA is part of a University hospital generating new intensivists every year willing to share their knowledge across our country, becoming a reference place for PoCUS experts in Mexico.
This Unit participates every year during the Mexican National Critical Care Congress, providing PoCUS courses to enthusiastic colleagues since one of our members is the coordinator of The Critical Care Ultrasound chapter in the Mexican College of Critical Care Medicine.
We are aiming to become one of the leading Mexican group, improving patients medical care in critical situations by using ultrasonography as a tool for daily use, with international quality standards.
