Fundamentals of Point-of-Care Ultrasonography in Nephrology (2026)

Point-of-care ultrasonography (POCUS) is designed to answer focused clinical questions at the bedside and to guide patient management. In nephrology practice, multiorgan POCUS is an invaluable tool for evaluating AKI and complex fluid and electrolyte disorders. This program introduces participants to key sonographic applications pertinent to nephrology and offers hands-on experience to help build confidence in performing scans at their own institutions. Mentored hands-on practice is the most effective way to learn both the psychomotor and cognitive pattern-recognition aspects of POCUS. The curriculum is approximately equally divided between didactic sessions and hands-on experiences and focuses on foundational imaging skills. Advanced Doppler applications, such as venous excess ultrasound (VExUS), are not covered in this introductory course.
