Prometheus Medical International in collaboration with the College of Remote and Offshore Medicine Foundation (CoROM), is pleased to offer the Austere and prehospital ultrasound course — APUS — in Norway.
Austere and prehospital ultrasound course is a practical point-of-care ultrasound course designed for clinicians working in prehospital, remote, austere, tactical, maritime, expedition, and resource-limited environments. The course introduces participants to the use of focused diagnostic ultrasound as a decision-support tool when access to advanced imaging, hospital diagnostics, or specialist support may be limited.
The Austere and prehospital ultrasound course is suitable for doctors, paramedics, nurses, clinical medical officers, military medics, and other healthcare professionals who need to develop practical ultrasound skills for challenging clinical environments.
