Handheld ultrasound devices can make it easier to incorporate point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS) into your practice. To help decide if a handheld ultrasound is right for your clinical practice and to enhance your skills, we offer several handheld ultrasounds on loan.  

To explore available portable ultrasound options, read our This Changed My Practice article.

Watch our latest Rural Rounds session to learn how to get started with handheld ultrasound in a rural hospital setting.
