At Westwick College, our POCUS in Lung Ultrasound program provides specialized training in point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS) techniques for lung imaging. This course equips healthcare professionals with the knowledge and hands-on skills needed to perform and interpret lung ultrasounds accurately. With respiratory conditions such as pneumonia, pulmonary edema, and pleural effusion being common in clinical practice, proficiency in lung ultrasound has become an essential skill for frontline healthcare providers. Westwick College is committed to preparing students to deliver precise, real-time imaging that enhances patient care.
Why Pursue POCUS in Lung Ultrasound?
Lung ultrasound is a fast, non-invasive, and highly effective diagnostic tool for assessing respiratory conditions. This program offers a thorough understanding of lung ultrasound principles, imaging techniques, and clinical applications. You’ll learn how to identify key lung pathologies, differentiate between normal and abnormal findings, and integrate ultrasound results into clinical decision-making.
Training is delivered through a combination of online classes and hands-on practical sessions, ensuring students gain both theoretical knowledge and real-world experience. During the practical sessions, each student will have the opportunity to scan at least 40 live models under the supervision of professionally trained instructors. This guided, competency-based approach ensures students develop the confidence and skill set required for accurate lung ultrasound assessments.
Program Objectives
