Please note: The CORE areas are Cardiac, Aorta, Abdomen, First Trimester Pregnancy, Pleural Effusion, and Pneumothorax. The 50 scans can also be obtained by hiring an IP certified individual to supervise the scans or through completion of advanced certified ultrasound courses.

Once all scans have been acquired and theory has been reviewed, our participants can apply for MUSE 3.0 to complete the CPoCUS written, visual, and practical certification examinations at a convenient date. Contact us for further information.
