Dear Colleagues,

We would like to invite you at the upcoming EFSUMB Endorsed Conference - EUROSON POCUS SCHOOL 2020.

The Conference is organized by EUVEKUS with the support of MDX Research.

The theme of the Conference, The Point of Care Ultrasonography in Primary Health Care and Ambulatory Care - Updates and Perspectives, reflects the collaboration to advance common approaches aimed to improve early diagnostic through ultrasonography techniques.

EUROSON PoC-US SCHOOL 2020 will host over 200 delegates and approximately 10 world-renowned faculty from Europe. The meeting will provide participants with a unique opportunity for sharing knowledge, and skills through workshops. In addition, this activity will provide a platform for networking with many of the Europe’s leading experts, focusing on reviewing and assessing best practices in ultrasonography. The meeting program will include presentations, hands-on training and a number of informal social gatherings.

Our main objectives and goal are to promote and develop the practice of Clinical Ultrasonography in Ambulatory Medicine of various specialties, but with special interest at the family doctors/GPs from all European countries.
The European Ulrasound Working Group – EUVEKUS/EADUS has several subsidiaries in several countries ( Greece, Poland, Germany, Malta, Spain, Israel, Romania).

In collaboration with Professors from several universities and organizations from Austria and other European countries, we organize a series of courses: the Point of Care Ultrasonography, FOCUS, FAST workshops at different levels: basic, medium and advanced in English.

The participants are primary care physicians and other physicians of various specialties (internal medicine, pediatrics, etc.) from ambulatory healthcare throughout all European countries, and we are connected to the WONCA, EURACT, EGPRN, EURIPA, EFSUMB networks. The courses will be held in English, organized in two modules with a theoretical part followed by the Hands-on session and will be under the auspices of EFSUMB (European Federation of Ultrasonography in Medicine and Biology) - Endorsed EFSUMB Courses.

This format of Workshops organized by us had already been held at:

1. The WONCA Conference Copenhagen EGPRN Workshop - The Point of care ultrasonography (POC-US) in family medicine -present and perspectives,

2. The EUROSON Conference in Poznan (1WS and 3 oral presentations),

3. The EURIPA Conference in Israel (four WSs organized by us in Jerusalem),

4. The EFSUMB Endorsed Course – POCUS in Family Medicine – First Edition, June 22nd, 2019 - Vienna, AUSTRIA.
