The two day Core Emergency Medicine Ultrasound Course (CEMUSC) training programme prepares you for Core (Level 1) Competency in Emergency Medicine Ultrasound. The QiMET International training programme has been designed to blend online learning and small group experiential teaching with direct access to plenty of ultrasound practice.
The two-day workshop will be delivered as:
Day 1 – an online theory day through an online learning platform.
Day 2 – Direct online ultrasound experience and assessment of competence.
A Certificate of Completion of the course will be provided if all satisfactory components of the course have been met and these are:
i. Theory Day 1 – all 6 areas, Indications, Physics, Image Acquisition, FAST, Aortic Assessment, Vascular Access have been learnt
ii. Evidence provided of scans carried out
iii. Satisfactory sign off for practice after hands on instruction and supervised practice, documented in an Assessment Sheet
After completion of this two day programme, there may be an opportunity to undertake supervised practice in the workplace to complete Level 1 Competency in Ultrasound. However this will need to be negotiated separately and is not a guaranteed outcome of this two day CEMUSC programme.

– Focussed Assessment of the Abdominal Aorta (AAA)
– Focusses Assessment with Sonography in Trauma (FAST)
