FAST & ACCURATE DIAGNOSIS AT THE BEDSIDE THAT "PRACTICALLY FEELS LIKE CHEATING"
Lung ultrasound is quickly becoming a core skill for clinicians across many specialties. It is relatively easy to learn, quick to perform at the bedside, and more accurate than a chest X-ray for many lung conditions.
In fact, lung ultrasound rivals the accuracy of CT for acute respiratory failure, without the radiation. That means it can safely be used in all patient populations, including children and pregnant patients, both inpatient and outpatient.
In Lung Ultrasound Explained Clearly, Dr. Joshua Jacquet shows how lung ultrasound helps diagnose COPD, asthma, pneumothorax, pulmonary embolism, pulmonary edema, pneumonia, pleural effusion, acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), and more, through concise videos, quizzes, and patient cases.
WHO IS THIS COURSE FOR?
Physicians, nurse practitioners, physician assistants, respiratory therapists, and students who want fast, accurate bedside diagnosis of lung conditions.
WHO IS THE INSTRUCTOR?
Dr. Joshua Jacquet, MD, is an emergency physician at Cleveland Clinic Akron General, board certified in emergency medicine and in advanced emergency medicine ultrasonography. He teaches point-of-care ultrasound to emergency medicine residents, medical students, and practicing clinicians.
Clear understanding leads to confident clinical decisions and reduces information overload.

I have previously taken two lung US courses. This is by far superior. The explanations and progression from simple to complex concepts are clearly and concisely presented, and have already helped me immensely to refine my lung US interpretations.
Andrew Yocum
Amazing course. As a practicing EM physician a few years out of residency this course will improve my usage of lung ultrasound drastically. Dr Jacquet really walks you through step by step how to preform and how to analyze the lung US. Well done. Highly recommend.
David Nemeth
Lung ultrasound is often not well explained. Relatively new area with a significant number of signs to understand. This was a very clear explanation of the signs and their significance. The explanation of lung US being predominantly the consequence of artifact was an important point as I hadn't considered the signs in this way before.
Christopher Kirkpatrick
Professionally produced videos with clear precise explanations of the material. Dr. Jacquet found a way to provided me with enough information to make the material digestible in a short amount of time while also keeping the subject matter clinically fit for use in the "real world". I HIGHLY RECOMMEND!
Amanda Finlayson
This course gave clear and thorough explanations for all of the concepts discussed involving Lung Ultrasound. The diagrams and flow charts were especially helpful for me personally.
Travis Reddinger
It was very helpful to have an algorithmic approach to lung ultrasound and the diagnostic capability it offers.
Alexandria Rodriguez
I really liked how clear and concise each video was. I feel like I have a good understanding of lung ultrasounds after having taken this course. The quizzes give you a good take away on what you should know overall and it helps that I can see which questions I got wrong and why.
Andrew Sanders
Excellent course and very useful. Quizzes at the end of each video are very beneficial for remembering these concepts. I'm sure I will be viewing the course again when I need a refresher.
Mario Vivas
This was a great course. I learned a lot about ultrasounds and got a better understanding which is going to help me in my RT career.
