What Our Course Participants Have To Say

My 2 days under the expert coaching of the keen and experienced sonographers at Perth Cardiac POCUS were formative in me gaining the skills to put probe to skin and add echo as an asset to my everyday clinical practice. My confidence in attaining the best windows and meaningfully interpret them improved immeasurably after this. Big thanks to Sam and the Team!

Echo workshops were well run and small groups facilitated hours of hands-on learning.

Educators were knowledgeable and supportive. I definitely benefited hugely from these workshops and have already applied the knowledge to my current practice.

This was a great course with fantastic hands-on educators to help pick up the fundamentals in POCUS.

Would definitely recommend to colleagues.

Awesome! Comprehensive, one to one course. I would highly recommend this workshop to all trainees, registrars and consultants who are trying to upskill. Great and friendly team with heaps of patience. Thank you for a great course!

Even as a relatively experienced user of echocardiography Sam's course was excellent. Previously, I had been focussed on 2D assessment and colour doppler. Perth Cardiac PoCUS allowed me to further develop these skills in a supportive environment with trained echocardiographers and helped me on the way to achieving more accurate and advanced views with cardiac measurements. Subsequently many of my colleagues, with a wide range of prior scanning experience have attended Sam's courses. The feedback has been overwhelmingly positive, and I would highly recommend this to anyone who uses point of care echo in their practice.
