SRT Prehospital Bootcamp is a three day workshop that is designed specifically for prehospital, aeromedical transport, tactical, remote/austere, and adventure/expedition medicine providers. If you are a paramedic, critical care nurse, medic, RN, or doctor working in one of these environments, this is the course for you! Learn protocol based ultrasound applications for shock, trauma, respiratory distress, and venous access. Emphasis on effective, efficient, safe, and FAST integration of ultrasound in your specialty environment for disposition and life saving intervention decisions.
Learn the following protocols:
- Trauma protocol (identify abdominal free fluid, pleural effusion, pneumothorax, hemothorax, and pericardial effusion)

-
Am I guaranteed to receive IP certification?
Every opportunity will be given to you to achieve the standard required to attain IP certification. Unfortunately, there is always a chance that a participant will fail the retake of an exam or not obtain all the needed scans to qualify for certification with CPoCUS. If the instructors do not feel a participant is safe and competent to perform the applications they will recommend additional training be obtained at a later date. This is EXTREMELY RARE, as we work hard to identify those needing extra assistance and spend additional time addressing challenges.
