The CoROM APUS Course is a two-day programme focusing on clinical practice in remote, austere and resource-limited environments.

It covers primary applications of emergency ultrasound modelled on the level-1 ultrasound qualification from the Royal College of Emergency Medicine. Additionally, orthopaedic applications for ultrasound, tropical disease ultrasound and procedural ultrasound will be discussed. The course has online content to review before the classroom session arrives. We will provide live modules to practice during the classroom training, but please wear comfortable clothes.

We use live models for a realistic training experience and provide at least a 2:1 student-to-equipment ratio to ensure a significant hands-on experience for each delegate.
