Emergency physicians can certify in point-of-care ultrasound through WINFOCUS's Ultrasound Life Support (USLS) pathway, purpose-built for emergency and critical care settings. The USLS-Basic course covers core POCUS applications — cardiac, lung, abdominal, and vascular access — while USLS-Advanced builds on it for more complex clinical decision-making. Both are hands-on, in-person programs taught by faculty affiliated with institutions including the University of Pavia, University of Toronto, and University of Belgrade. For a fully online option, the FoCUS e-course offers 13 hours of self-paced cardiac ultrasound training with 18 EACCME-accredited CME credits. On completing a program, physicians receive a WINFOCUS Certificate of Competence, recognized by emergency medicine and critical care societies across Europe and Latin America.
