Ambulatory pocus has key differences to inpatient pocus. We should acknowledge these and tailor training to trainees and faculty accordingly says @nilan_schnure. I love this slide! #IMPOCUS #MedEd @DRsonosRD @AIUMultrasound.

I then find duodenum right next gallbladder and look at gastric antrum to get an idea of gastric volume (while getting history of last oral intake).

Proud of our #OHSUPocusFellows presenting their ed work at our Educational Symposium. Sharing (#POCUS #MEDED) is caring! Can't believe they are almost finished. @DRsonosRD #IMPOCUS

@chrissyschutzer keying that assessment is different than feedback often focused on summative evaluation and grading. how can we do this better for our learners? one tip ... can we use simulation or validated assessments? #UltraAIUM23
