SAS 24 Curriculum
These talks have been put together citing the latest literature and POCUS techniques.
5 Ways to Up Your Echo Game
Yija Teresa Liu teaches us five ways that you can boost your cardiac echocardiogram via maximizing your views to help administer excellent medical care by using POCUS.
POCUS for Dyspnea
This talk focuses on how you can use ultrasound to help narrow the differential diagnosis in your clinical practice. Basic lung ultrasound is covered, as well as basic cardiac ultrasound, and ends with a few cases demonstrating their utility.
eFAST Exam
Matthew Whited talks to us about the Extended Focused Assessment with Sonography in Trauma. This protocol will allow you to diagnose abdominal free fluid, pericardial effusion, and hemo/pneumothorax.
Musculoskeletal Ultrasound
Kate Anderson talks to us about how to perform and interpret common musculoskeletal POCUS examinations, and even how to perform ultrasound-guided procedures on joints safely, effectively and with less pain.
Flank Pain
In this talk, Eva Tovar will walk us through the differential diagnosis for flank pain and how Ultrasound can be beneficial. This talk focuses on renal pathology as well as aortic emergencies
RUSH Exam
Megan Guy discusses how the RUSH exam can be beneficial in your undifferentiated hypotensive patient. This is an invaluable protocol to treat critically ill patients.
Vascular Access
In this talk, Jailyn Avila walks us through her techniques when performing peripheral IV access using ultrasound. This includes choosing the appropriate vein, the appropriately sized catheter as well as methods to maximize effectiveness.
Introduction to Nerve Blocks
Nerve blocks can be intimidating to perform, especially if you’ve never done them before. Jailyn Avila helps us learn US-guided regional anesthesia safety, proper technique, and their efficacy as well as forearm and brachial plexus blocks.
Lower Extremity Nerve Blocks
Dasia Esener teaches us the most common and high-yield lower extremity nerve blocks, which can be dramatically helpful in managing acute pain in the emergency department.
Plane blocks
In this talk, Gabe Rose discusses some common ultrasound-guided plane blocks as well as cutting edge ways to manage pain by using ultrasound-guided regional anesthesia.
Ocular
Jailyn Avila will walk you through the basics of ocular ultrasound, which include retinal detachment, vitreous detachment, and vitreous hemorrhage. Additionally, she will discuss multiple other ocular pathologies and how you can use them clinically in emergency medicine.
Thoracentesis and Paracentesis
Jailyn Avila discusses how ultrasound can be invaluable when performing a paracentesis and thoracentesis. Pearls and pitfalls from someone who has done a ton of these.
Pelvic Ultrasound
Chris Fox walks us through the ins and outs of performing and interpreting both transabdominal and transvaginal pelvis ultrasound. Major pelvic pathologies are covered.
Resuscitative Ultrasound
Matt Riscinti utilizes cutting edge ultrasound applications when using POCUS to guide resuscitation in your most critically sick patients.
POCUSing the Pulse
Terren Trott uses his emergency medicine and a critical care background to discuss relevant literature on how ultrasound can be used during cardiac arrest to effectively manage your patients
POCUS in Pulmonary Embolism
Mike Macias, PE management extraordinaire, shows us how Ultrasound can be invaluable in diagnosing and risk stratifying patient with pulmonary emboli.
Preventing M&M with POCUS
Mike Macias wraps up our conference by discussing how Ultrasound can be helpful and effectively managing your patients by decreasing the morbidity and mortality of the patients we see.

Frequently Asked Questions
You've got questions, we've got answers
Absolutely. We want you to be happy with your purchase. If you're not 100% satisfied with Fundamentals in the first month of your subscription, then we will refund your money.
Sound and Surf 2024 is designed for healthcare professionals seeking to develop or refine their point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS) skills. Physicians, nurse practitioners, physician assistants, residents, fellows, and other healthcare providers can all benefit from the comprehensive online curriculum.
No previous ultrasound experience is required. The course starts with foundational concepts and gradually advances to more complex techniques. If you already have some POCUS background, you can skip or quickly review the introductory modules and focus on more advanced sections.
Once you enroll, you’ll have continuous access to all course materials for 12 months. This means you can revisit modules, watch video tutorials, and practice your scanning techniques whenever you like within that access window.
