The next cohort of the POCUS Champion Program will run from September 11, 2025 to June 4, 2026.

  • Most sessions will take place on Thursdays from 3 - 5 p.m., though hands-on sessions in real clinical settings will be more flexible and determined on an individual and small group basis.

To receive the POCUS Certificate of Training, you must complete 70% of the didactics and workshops, complete the image portfolio requirement, and pass a brief written and hands-on evaluation.

Eligibility

This program is primarily available to OHSU School of Medicine faculty who have clinical appointments, and either currently use Point of Care Ultrasound in practice, or plan to in the future. Interested faculty from other OHSU schools who have clinical appointments and use or plan to use POCUS in practice may also apply.

NOTE: Participants must have regular access to an ultrasound during their clinical practice to be a candidate for this course.
