The old EDE 2 lectures in PowerPoint format have been converted to online modules. The modules are not simple video recordings of the lectures. The modules are totally cutting-edge and interactive. The modules allow participants to go through the material at their own pace, and at a time of their own choosing. Participants can go through the material as often as they like. The online modules have been designed to make the learning experience informative, interesting and more importantly… enjoyable. Participants are able to: Read text Click on audio clips Review live images, illustrations, and ultrasound images Watch live videos & ultrasound videos Use their cursor to identify structures, indicate screen orientation, and indicate whether a scan is positive or negative Answer pop quizzes or perform an activity with immediate feedback provided
It’s amazing to see how variable the interests of emergency physicians are. One physician may be find one topic very useful but the next physician will see no need for it. For private courses, the topics can be varied.
There are literally dozens of indications in the emergency ultrasound literature. Even in a 2 day course, it is impossible to include them all. Nonetheless, we are certainly open to suggestions.
Yes, food, drinks, and coffee are provided at lunch and during the morning and afternoon breaks.
No. The lunch break lasts 40 minutes so you won’t have time to do much more than eat and take a bathroom break.
Although it is our recommendation that you would have obtained your IP status with CEUS before taking EDE 2, we recognize that this will not always be possible. Nonetheless, adequate probe skills will enhance your ability to grasp the EDE 2 indications. Basic probe skills are assumed and are not taught at the bedside. If you have only taken a basic course and done little else, you will struggle.

For training requirements beyond The EDE 2 Course, we suggest that you consult with a certifying body, such as CPOCUS (www.cpocus.ca).

A request was submitted to the Royal College for approval of the retroactive awarding of Section 1 credits. Unfortunately, the request was rejected.
For courses with 20 participants, there are 10 ultrasound machines and a minimum of 8 instructors. If you can find an advanced bedside ultrasound course that has better numbers, please let us know!
