EASy POCUS Around the World

One cardiac window. One shared physiologic language.

EASy POCUS collaborates with universities, hospitals, professional societies, and local educators worldwide to deliver practical point-of-care ultrasound education for clinicians caring for unstable patients.

Each program combines a common EASy framework with the needs, resources, and clinical priorities of the host institution.

Global learning, locally sustained

International training should build more than a successful workshop. It should leave behind clinicians who can continue practicing, reviewing examinations, mentoring colleagues, and teaching safely within their own institutions.

The EASy model supports this through

  • Online preparation before the course
  • Hands-on scanning with local and visiting faculty
  • Rapid phenotype-recognition and management exercises
  • Simulation of shock, cardiac arrest, and peri-intubation emergencies
  • Supervised bedside examinations
  • Longitudinal image review and mentorship
  • Development of local instructors and training programs

The course begins the pathway. Continued practice, feedback, and local leadership sustain it.

EASy in practice around the world

EASy POCUS education has been shared through workshops, clinical demonstrations, invited lectures, and longitudinal mentorship across Africa, Asia, the Middle East, Europe, North America, South America, and the Caribbean.

United States — Albany Medical Center

EASy POCUS was developed at Albany Medical Center, and the course runs there for the anesthesiology and critical care trainees of its own departments.

The September 2026 course followed the standard shape: didactic teaching on the hemodynamic phenotypes, hands-on acquisition of the subcostal cardiac and IVC views on live models and phantoms, and simulation in the center's skills laboratory — the same three parts, in the same order, that the international courses run.

Host institution: Albany Medical Center

Training focus: EASy MAP, EASy PDA, subcostal image acquisition, hemodynamic phenotypes, and simulation.

Cambodia

In January 2023, EASy POCUS teaching was incorporated into the first POCUS course for anesthesiologists, intensivists, and emergency physicians in Phnom Penh, Cambodia.

The program combined case-based instruction, focused cardiopulmonary ultrasound, and small-group clinical teaching with Cambodian physicians. Participants practiced connecting cardiac, IVC, and lung findings to the physiology of shock, peri-intubation instability, and other time-sensitive clinical decisions.

The classroom course was followed by a week-long clinical deployment. Faculty and Cambodian clinicians rounded together on real patients in the emergency departments, intensive care units, and operating rooms — the examination applied where the decisions were actually being made, not on a course model.

The course was part of a broader two-day emergency medicine, critical care, and anesthesia conference attended by more than 100 Cambodian physicians. The program concluded with formal recognition from Cambodian health leadership.

Organized and supported by Alliance for International Medicine

Training focus: Cardiopulmonary POCUS, hemodynamic assessment, shock, resuscitation, and the physiologically difficult airway.

Thailand

Recurring international POCUS workshops in Bangkok have combined cardiac, lung, vascular, and resuscitation ultrasound with longitudinal mentorship and expert image review.

Training focus: Subcostal cardiac imaging, hemodynamic assessment, cardiac arrest, and the physiologically difficult airway.

Libya

EASy courses and simulation workshops have supported a growing national POCUS education network in collaboration with Libyan clinicians and professional societies.

The Libyan-American POCUS mentorship and instructor-development initiatives connect local clinicians with international mentors for continuing case review, feedback, and faculty development.

Training focus: EASy MAP, EASy ALS, perioperative emergencies, simulation, and instructor development.

Egypt

The inaugural POCUS During Perioperative Emergencies course in Cairo introduced the EASy approach through hands-on scanning, case-based hemodynamic phenotyping, and resuscitation simulation.

Training focus: Perioperative hypotension, the physiologically difficult airway, cardiac arrest, and clinical integration.

United Arab Emirates

EASy has been presented through international anesthesia and critical-care conferences in Abu Dhabi, with continued development of hands-on perioperative-emergency training.

Training focus: Subcostal cardiac imaging, pre-induction physiology, shock, and resuscitation.

Colombia and the Caribbean

Multispecialty programs in Medellín and Curaçao have brought practical POCUS education to anesthesiologists, intensivists, emergency physicians, and other acute-care clinicians.

Training focus: Cardiopulmonary POCUS, rapid hemodynamic assessment, and multidisciplinary implementation.

Asia-Pacific and Latin America

Additional teaching collaborations have included programs and presentations in the Philippines, Chile, and other international settings.

Training focus: Critical-care ultrasound, noncardiac POCUS, cardiopulmonary assessment, and faculty development.

More than a visiting workshop

1

Prepare

Participants complete foundational learning before the hands-on course, so in-person time can go to scanning, interpretation, and decision-making.

2

Practice

Learners acquire the EASy views, recognize physiologic patterns, and apply them during rapid-fire cases and simulation.

3

Demonstrate

Competency develops through supervised examinations, documented image quality, and expert review — not attendance alone.

4

Sustain

Local faculty continue image review, mentorship, quality assurance, and future training within their own institutions.

Faculty

A growing international faculty community

EASy courses are delivered with local clinicians who understand their healthcare system, available equipment, patient population, and educational priorities.

Local faculty are partners in curriculum adaptation, teaching, translation, mentorship, and program development. The long-term goal is not dependence on visiting instructors, but a sustainable network of capable local educators connected through a shared framework.

By far, the best workshop I have attended. The course simplifies and categorizes a big subject that we encounter very often, like hypotension. It gives you the tools to help you make the right decision at the right time.

It was a very informative and well-structured course with practical, clinically relevant content. I would definitely recommend it to colleagues looking to strengthen their knowledge and skills in critical care.

Dr Urooj

Fellow · Aga Khan Hospital

Karachi 2026

I found the way the content was delivered so clear and engaging that I was able to understand the concepts almost immediately! Made POCUS feel easy! It was my first time and I got it right away.

Excellent compilation of POCUS skills you actually use to make better decisions for your patient. To the point!

I would recommend this course to colleagues because it summarizes what I failed to learn after years of using hemodynamic ultrasound: systematization.

The EASy POCUS workshop provides excellent hands-on exposure. The lectures are clear and clinically relevant, making it especially useful for those working in critical care and emergency settings. A great opportunity to strengthen our knowledge and confidence in bedside POCUS. Definitely worth attending.
