Point of Care Ultrasound encompasses a series of ultrasound examinations including transthoracic echocardiography and intravascular volume assessment, as well as lung, abdominal, and peripheral vascular ultrasound. Collectively, POCUS is an essential tool for the anesthesiologist which allows for the acquisition of ultrasound images non-invasively (as compared to transesophageal echocardiography) in multiple settings, including perioperative emergencies, to evaluate and diagnose multiple patholo...

This meeting is presented live in a Power Point format with educational review of the identified errors in a case based fashion with active participation of attendees, discussion and feedback. The Power Point is stored in the Pediatric cardiology PHI drive stored at vumc.org for future review/revision.

Participants will engage in education to critically appraise and critique recent publications in obstetric anesthesia and improving patient outcomes. A variety of topics from researchers in several disciplines from across the VU and VUMC institutions will be covered.

Participants will engage in education on strategies to identify, evaluate, and treat drug allergies and improving patient outcomes. A variety of topics from researchers in several disciplines from across the VU and VUMC institutions will be covered.

This journal club will present articles from the medical literature that concern prevention and management of orthopedic infections. Trainees from both Infectious Diseases and Orthopedic Surgery will alternate the responsibility of finding articles of interest to both groups and presenting their findings for discussion.
