**POCUS SF November 2026: Point of Care Ultrasound for the Hospitalist

The UCSF Point-of-Care Ultrasound (POCUS) for the Hospitalist Workshop is a hands-on experience to learn the techniques of bedside ultrasound. Live demonstrations, case review, and didactics will complement hours of hands-on practice sessions. Participants will gain the skills, knowledge, and confidence to integrate bedside ultrasound into clinical practice. We will continue our new tradition of offering an advanced track and a traditional track– both of which can count towards the SHM POCUS COC. The traditional track will match prior year content and focus on the core skillsets needed as a practicing hospitalist (and those required for mastery for the SHM Certificate of Completion). The advanced track is targeted towards those with prior POCUS exposure (ideally a prior 2 day workshop or more) and those who seek to use more advanced skills or to be a POCUS educator. Both workshops are designed to maximize the participant’s time practicing ultrasound skills on live models. The groups will have a small ratio of participants learning (3:1 or less at hands on for traditional, 4:1 or less for advanced) from experienced instructors who utilize POCUS daily in the hospital medicine clinical environment. Further descriptions of both tracks are below.
