We are pleased to invite you to join an exciting course offered through a unique partnership between the Cape Heart Institute/Groote Schuur Hospital Clinic and the Saarland University Hospital in Homburg, Germany. The hospital partnership entitled "Hand-held cardiac point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS) course for junior doctors in South Africa" targets 2nd-year interns from hospitals around Cape Town and will teach the basics of emergency cardiac point-of-care echocardiography using hand-held echo devices.
We aim to deliver a course that offers innovative insights, practical knowledge, and valuable networking opportunities. Participants will benefit from diverse perspectives, high-quality instruction, and access to the resources of both institutions.
