Abstract
- Summary: Point of care ultrasonography (POCUS) is revolutionizing care of critically ill patients. However, training in POCUS is extremely variable, with no accepted curriculum or certification process. We aimed to delineate the training experience and use of POCUS among trauma providers across Canada via a secure e-questionnaire sent to members of the Trauma Association of Canada. This commentary discusses our survey results and argues for the standardization of POCUS training and certification in Canada.
