Bret Nelson returned to Singapore this month to join the faculty for a WINFOCUS introductory ultrasound course. Over fifty registrants from all over Singapore were in attendance, representing emergency medicine, critical care, surgery, internal medicine, anesthesia, and nephrology. Many thanks to Dr. Francis Lee, course director as well as Dr. Toh Hong Chuen who organized many of the course logistics.

Featuring a bold new cover design, the Russian language translation of the Manual of Emergency and Critical Care Ultrasound is now available!
This book marks the third language for the Manual, which was first published by Cambridge University Press in 2007. The book’s concise focus and many illustrations and images have made it quite popular with physicians worldwide, and additional translations are planned for the future.
Each fall, the Massachusetts General Hospital Emergency Department hosts their annual Bedside Ultrasound CME course. Mount Sinai’s own Bret Nelson joined an international faculty for this year’s offering.
Instructors from Boston, New York, Saudi Arabia, Spain, and Thailand covered emergency and critical care topics for the two-day course. The course is directed by Vicki Noble, MD, RDMS.
The American Academy of Emergency Medicine will host its 16th annual scientific assembly from February 15-17 in Las Vegas at Caesars Palace. An innovative pre-conference course on emergency ultrasound will be held on February 14th. If you will be attending the AAEM assembly, or consider an ultrasound course to be a good prelude to a romantic evening with that special someone, please consider registering for the course! A detailed course description for this CME course can be found here.
