Zedu Weekly Wrap – 6 May 2022
Winter has well and truly hit Melbourne…
it’s cold when we arrive and dark when we leave the training HQ. But it’s been hotter and brighter than ever inside as we set about seeding the POCUS bug – a catchy little tike that there doesn’t seem to be a cure for π
Speaking of SEED, Suean’s Coaching Corner which was last night was all about what it takes to become a Sonographer Educator in the Emergency Department (SEED). Was well attended and some great quesitons – despite the audio issues…again! Got there in the end – the recording will be up soon, but while you’re waiting check out the blog post on the topic – plenty of food for thought for those looking to make the leap from the safety of radiology!
If you think being a SEED is the role for you check out the range of free resources on our site – it will give you a small taste of what to expect. And also take a look at our TRain the UltraSound Trainer (TRUST) course designed specifically to give you the teaching tools you’ll need to teach ultrasound on the run. We’re running this internationally recognised course in Australia for the first time in July and October – don’t miss out.
23 β 24 July | 22 β 23 October
As always, if there’s something on the horizon that you’d like added to our weeklywrap – or something we’ve missed – let us know.
See you next week.
Mike and Suean
P.S. – May’s Coaching Corner will be online soon. In the meantime register to participate for these free ZOOM sessions by checking here. And have a look at the back catalogue – there’s something for everyone.

#CritCareExplore @SCCM #POCUS can be used with formalin embalmed cadavers for training first year medical students to perform invasive procedures. Increased confidence and exposure could lead to lower complication rates in future generations of physicians. https://t.co/LBc4t5kHFY pic.twitter.com/qTY0EeGCO2
