Perioperative POCUS Course 2026 Overview

The Perioperative POCUS Course 2026 is a two-day ASRA Pain Medicine course for physicians who want hands-on point-of-care ultrasound training. The course runs September 26-27, 2026, in Tampa, Florida.

This course focuses on practical perioperative ultrasound skills. Clinicians can review bedside ultrasound concepts, image acquisition, clinical use, and point-of-care ultrasound applications that may help with decision-making before, during, and after procedures.

The course uses a flipped classroom format with hands-on sessions. In addition, ASRA notes that the course may support requirements for the ASA Diagnostic POCUS Certificate of Completion. This includes CME requirements and directly supervised lung ultrasound, gastric ultrasound, focused cardiac ultrasound, and FAST exams. The course may be especially useful for physicians who want a structured way to improve perioperative ultrasound confidence. It may also help clinicians who want to apply bedside ultrasound more often in anesthesia, acute care, procedural care, and perioperative patient assessment.
