Drs. Daniel Grushka and Kyle Carter have been selected as the recipients of the 2020 Canadian Point of Care Ultrasound Society (CPOCUS) Educator of the Year Award for the development of the FamPOCUS curriculum. The course introduces Family Medicine residents to POCUS and its applications within an ambulatory setting.
The award recognizes Dr. Grushka and Dr. Carter for educating Family Medicine residents through the creation of the introductory FamPOCUS course and curriculum. Both doctors are full time faculty members in the Department of Family Medicine at the Schulich School of Medicine & Dentistry, Western University, and are the Directors of the Enhanced Skills Program Director (outgoing and incoming, respectively).
"This curriculum is the first of its kind in Canada, educating family medicine residents in the Department of Family Medicine at Western University in the practical use of ultrasound in ambulatory clinic settings," said Dr. Grushka.
The CPOCUS will announce the award recipients nationally, and will issue the award certificate and award bursary in the coming weeks.
