What were the papers that truly moved the needle in 2025?
February 26th, 2:30pm CET
In an era of information overload, identifying the research that genuinely advances our field requires both a clinical eye and an editorial lens. Join us for a special WINFOCUS webinar as I sit down with Francesco Corradi, Editor-in-Chief of The Ultrasound Journal, to reveal our curated selection of the most impactful POCUS papers of the past year.
We have spent months sifting through the data to identify the studies that offer the most profound insights—and we are keeping the shortlist under wraps until the session. This isn’t just a review; it’s an invitation to a high-level academic exchange.
To complete the picture, we are offering a unique prospect for our audience: the floor will be open for you to nominate your own favorite paper of 2025. We want to know which study stood out to you, challenged your thinking, or changed your perspective.
We will be discussing these peer-selected picks in real-time, pitting the “wisdom of the crowd” against the editorial “best-of” list.
These are our selection.
