Congress overview
Over 100 PoCUS experts from over 40 countries and representing almost every discipline will gather to present the latest concepts in ultrasonography in two broad tracks.
In Track 1 presentations will focus on cutting edge scientific information.
In Track 2 the emphasis will be mostly on educational material for those seeking to refine and advance their established sonology practice.
Each session will conclude with a live panel in which the presenters will field questions in real time. To further broaden access, dedicated sessions will be held in Spanish and Mandarin Chinese.
Please join us on June 12th and 13th as we take stock of our achievements over the past year and look to the future for ways that ultrasound can further enhance our patient care!

Agenda
Track one
New Landscapes, New Challenges
“New Landscapes, New Challenges” will highlight cutting-edge science of PoCUS: new evidence, new approaches, and new visions. Leading investigators from around the world will discuss recent scientific advances and how they are likely to impact future practice. New vistas and challenges facing the science of sonology will be covered in a variety of sessions including cardiac ultrasound, pediatrics, critical care, resuscitation, and education.
For non-English speakers, this track will include sessions in Spanish and Mandarin.

Track two
Refinements of Practice for the New Standard of Care
For most sonologists, underlying the glitter of the latest science there is a mountain of experience, knowledge, and scientific data.
This track will seek to enhance the power of ultrasound in the hands of practitioners who have scanned long enough to know that there are always ways to improve.
Talks from worldwide authorities will include the latest evidence reviews on test characteristics, novel indications for common ultrasound applications, best practice guidelines, pearls and pitfalls of scanning technique, knobology, and image optimization.
There will be presentations from leaders in the field on topics ranging from critical care to resource limited settings.

WINFOCUS: how to become a member

*The World Interactive Network Focused On Critical UltraSound (WINFOCUS) is the world leader scientific network committed to develop Point-of-Care Ultrasound practice, research, education, technology, and networking, addressing the needs of patients, institutions, services, and communities living in out-of-hospital and in-hospital critical scenarios.
It has been a time of adversity and sacrifice. Healthcare workers in all parts of the world have responded with extraordinary effort. Those whose skills include ultrasonography have experienced additional burdens as Point-of-Care Ultrasound has found new applications in the care and management of patients in a setting where there is a risk of deadly contagion.
WINFOCUS is proud and pleased to offer an unprecedented scientific and instructional event for practitioners, learners, and educators in PoCUS. One unique aspect of this congress is that it is being offered for free to large part of the medical community.
For 20 years, WINFOCUS has been the world-wide standard bearer for clinician sonologists of every background. Previous World Congresses have been held in six continents. This year, we are excited to extend our reach through the newly realized potential of global internet connectivity.
In the WINFOCUS World e-Congress 2021, an interdisciplinary panel of international experts has been gathered to deliver a unique range of scientific and educational content.
We are confident that this conference will have much to offer to every member of the medical community who uses or teaches ultrasound.
