Exclusively for Physicians, the Point-of-Care Ultrasound (POCUS) Program is the only APCA certificate and certification program in POCUS designed to demonstrate your clinical proficiency, pride in your profession and ongoing commitment to patient care and safety.
You may earn POCUS Specialty Certifications, which include clinical content from specified content areas, or you may earn individual POCUS Clinical Certificates in a variety of content areas. Pick what makes sense for you!
The POCUS program provides flexibility to tailor the certification and certificate process to your practice needs, ability to use your own device (PC, laptop, etc.) and freedom to take these proficiency assessments online at any time.
As a physician, you have two options for the POCUS Program; pick the option that is best for you.
APCA developed the POCUS program after finding 84% of surveyed physicians saw a need for a formal certificate or to certification:
- Demonstrate commitment to excellence in patient care.
- Provide a critical edge in promoting public safety.
- Document the highest attainable standard in POCUS.
- Validate proficiency in point-of-care ultrasound.
- Promote continued growth and professional development.
Dozens of physician volunteers worked to develop this program and look forward to celebrating your success as you earn the new POCUS certifications and certificates.
