Stories can help us understand behaviors often better than quantitative data. So many interesting themes came up in this #impocus piece. What themes did we miss in your experiences?

Ambulatory pocus has key differences to inpatient pocus. We should acknowledge these and tailor training to trainees and faculty accordingly says @nilan_schnure. I love this slide! #IMPOCUS #MedEd @DRsonosRD @AIUMultrasound.

Are you team curvilinear or phased array for #lungultrasound? We asked 166 internists/trainees to interpret common lung pathologies from each probe and found:
