EDE 1 – POCUS training is a one-day ultrasound course that aims to improve the bedside ultrasound skills of IM physicians and primary care providers through a modular, problem-based approach. The course covers a wide variety of clinical scenarios where bedside ultrasound can assist in diagnosis, therapeutics, management, procedures, and ultimately, provide improved patient outcomes. The course covers pericardial effusion, global cardiac activity, abdominal aortic aneurysm, abdominal free fluid, pneumothorax, pleural effusion and intrauterine pregnancy. Since 2001, the EDE – ED Echo course has been taught in Canada and worldwide over 1000 times to over 15,000 Canadian and international physicians and allied health professionals. Its use has become the standard of care in large trauma centers, remote settings and everything in between. It has even been used by Canadian Army combat units in Afghanistan. EDE is the most highly rated introductory ultrasound course in North America. Participants receive 30 College of Family Practitioners of Canada CERT+ credits or 12 Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Canada Section 3 credits. The course is unique in that it has continually evolved as the instructor team gained insight into the way beginners learn this skill. Numerous techniques were developed to help the learner acquire a basic understanding of ultrasound image generation and interpretation, making the EDE Course the most effective teaching vehicle for this modality.
