I took the Chest Ultrasound Essentials course. It was a great course. The instructors were very well versed, and they had live models to practice on. I would highly recommend that course. They also seem to offer an ultrasound certification process which involves taking a second course, submitting images, and taking a test. I am not participating in that, so can't speak towards the second course.
I have also taken "The Difficult Airway" course which was a very well taught course on everything intubation. When I took it, it was an "emergency medicine" physician course, but going on the website, it looks like they have a "critical care" physician version as well. I'm not sure what the differences are.

That course gets filled up very quickly even though he does it monthly. I haven't been able to find a date available on days that I am off to take the course. (

The Hospitalist and Emergency procedures course was a really good course for ultrasound guided procedures. They covered ultrasound exams as well, but at that time I wasn't interested in it and didn't pay attention to that part. When I took it a few years ago, it was a two day course, but it looks like it may just be one day now. (

Would love to hear what other courses exist out there for advanced procedures.
