Who's This For:

ER & Critical Care Physicians, Nurses, and Paramedics

You’ll return to the bedside able to assess right and left heart function on the spot and make confident, time-critical decisions long before a formal echo report is ready. CVP, tamponade, and pulmonary hypertension—all evaluated accurately and fast, starting your first day back on duty.

All Allied Health Professionals

No prior experience required. If you’re returning to an active clinical site, you’ll leave with a solid foundation, proven protocols, and the confidence to use them immediately. This weekend will show you that you can do it—and set you on a path for lifelong mastery in ultrasound.

Anesthesiologists & PACU Nurses

This course equips your team to run the PACU with full confidence. Both physicians and nursing staff will leave ready to perform at their highest level.

Veterinary Medicine

Ultrasound for canine and human applications follows the same principles. With today’s affordable, high-performance systems, you can easily add this skill to your practice. You’ll build confidence quickly—and our post-course mentoring ensures it lasts.

Research & Medical Device Professionals

You’ll gain the ability to identify and measure nearly any aspect of organ anatomy or motion with precision. For Device Developers and Support Teams, this understanding translates directly into better products, stronger marketing, and a competitive edge.

In this hands-on, deep-immersion course, you’ll learn complete emergency and critical care ultrasound protocols and ultrasound-guided vascular access—built through real scanning, one-on-one guidance, and focused discussion.

Designed for all specialties and experience levels, this is the most comprehensive bedside and field ultrasound introduction available—specifically requested by Faculty from Harvard Medical School and the Mayo Clinic.

We cut through complexity to make every control, principle, and finding clear and practical. You’ll be scanning from the first hour, with 24-hour weekend access to our Scan Lab for self-guided practice.

Bring your own system if you’d like—we’ll help you get the most from it.

What Our Participants Said:

The overwhelming majority described the experience as excellent, transformational, and better than other national ultrasound courses (frequent comparisons include Sid Edelman, Gulfcoast, SDMS, and SVU).

Many call it the best course or conference they have ever attended—hands-on, practical, and confidence-building.

Students repeatedly mention they learned more in a few days than in months elsewhere.

Why No CME Credit?

Essential Elements:

Our Approach & Your Takeaways

Everything we do centers on one goal—helping you make a confident contribution to the patient’s diagnosis.

Our team knows virtually every ultrasound system on the market—why it was designed the way it is, what every control does, and how to make each one work for you. Even so, you can be assured that no one on our faculty has any commercial ties or outside interests that influence what we teach.

There’s no formal exam in this class. Instead, we adjust our teaching moment by moment—based on your questions, your progress, and your hands-on results.

By the time you complete this course, you’ll be able to:

• Understand ultrasound from the inside out: how sound waves are created, detected, and turned into images you can interpret.

• Explain ultrasound principles in plain language and recognize how mechanical and thermal indices relate to tissue response.

• Use the right probe technique for comfortable ergonomics and precise control.

• Develop a tactile sense of scanning, using your touch to guide image quality and accuracy.

• Follow a proven step-by-step scanning protocol to evaluate:

  • Perirenal and perisplenic fluid

  • Pericardial effusion vs. hemopericardium

  • Pleural effusion and pneumothorax

  • Myocardial function (global and regional)

  • Aortic and mitral valve regurgitation

  • CVP, hepatic, and portal venous hypertension

  • Biliary obstruction and renal lithiasis

  • Acute extracranial carotid occlusion

  • DVT and vascular access sites...

We’ve chosen to make this course a non-CME-granting activity—and that’s for your benefit.

This gives us the freedom to shape the learning entirely around you—your background, your pace, and the way you learn best. Over decades of teaching, we’ve found that this kind of flexible, individualized approach helps every clinician gain true confidence and lasting skill—something that rigid, time-limited courses simply can’t deliver.

It also means we can talk about every ultrasound system freely and without bias, helping you understand the features, strengths, and quirks of any machine you’re likely to use. We're commercially independent.

While many professional groups offer their own branded CME programs, our focus is different. We’re here to help you develop lifelong bedside competence and a strategic edge in your clinical practice.

This freedom also allows us to keep our classes small, personal, and affordable, giving you more hands-on experience and one-on-one guidance than you’ll find anywhere else.

And if you’d like to add practice-specific CME credits to your training, we’re happy to connect you with free or low-cost online options that pair perfectly with what you’ll learn here.

Dear Dr Mauney....I hope this email finds you well. Greetings from Qatar, this is Nuri your former trainee. How is everything, hope all fine. Just wanted to write to you after this special day here. After the course I did not have a chance to work in ICU. Today I was assigned to cover a call in ICU. I wanted to demonstrate my training badly, though I was concerned that it has been a while since I took the course. But guess what, no one is making jokes about using ultrasound to insert a subclavian central line. I've enjoyed the sound of silence of crowds after putting the second line in row smoothly. Promised to write to you after this happens and here I am. Thank you so much Dr Mauney for such an outstanding course, thank you.
