In this episode, Michael Macias and I chat about some barriers and benefits of using ultrasound in community (non or less academic) emergency departments.

Any place where medicine is practiced should be held to similar standards, and POCUS should be considered standard of care. We discuss a study done at our home institution where we looked at a quite large sample of ultrasounds and various providers to give insight on which exams are common and some potential missed opportunities!
