Hands-on workshops are a cornerstone of the network’s educational offerings. Led by expert faculty — many of whom played a central role in the STFM POCUS Task Force—these workshops are built around the 52 POCUS applications identified as essential for family medicine residency training.
Our faculty not only defined these applications but also engaged in a structured nominal group process to determine the optimal sequence in which they should be taught.
Reflecting this consensus-driven tiering, we offer:
All workshops are hosted at our regional hubs and satellite hubs. They all feature a learner-to-faculty ratio of 3:1, ensuring individualized instruction and extensive hands-on practice. The workshops were intentionally designed utilizing validated educational theories to enhance the learning experience and improve long term knowledge retention. Our goal is that participants leave our workshops with the confidence and skills to start implementing POCUS into their practice immediately. While our focus of these workshops is for providers and trainees interested in primary care, participants working outside of this setting can still benefit from the workshops.
Each workshop has Prescribed AAFP CME credit available. AAFP Prescribed credit is accepted by the American Medical Association as equivalent to AMAPRA Category 1 Credit™ toward the AMA Physician’s Recognition Award.
