Curso FoCUS Ecocardiografía Básica en Cuidados Críticos Costa Rica 2026 Overview

The Curso FoCUS Costa Rica 2026 delivers WINFOCUS’s focused cardiac ultrasound training in San José on September 5, 2026. WINFOCUS is a global POCUS education network. It has certified more than 56,000 clinicians across 179 countries since 2005. Certified local faculty lead each session, combining the international WINFOCUS curriculum with insight relevant to the regional clinical setting.

This one-day FoCUS course covers the key cardiac ultrasound skills clinicians need at the bedside. These include obtaining basic parasternal, apical, and subcostal views, assessing ventricular function qualitatively, and identifying pericardial effusion. Clinicians also learn to integrate findings into critical care decisions. Sessions run from 9:00 am to 6:00 pm, balancing structured teaching with hands-on scanning practice. Additionally, the FoCUS program carries UEMS-EACCME® credits recognised internationally, making it a practical option for clinicians who need formal CME documentation.

Because this course focuses on a targeted binary question approach rather than full echocardiography, it suits busy acute care practitioners who want to act quickly on ultrasound findings. For instance, a clinician can use FoCUS skills to rule out cardiac tamponade or identify severe left ventricular dysfunction at the bedside in minutes. Moreover, completing the course provides a clear foundation for further POCUS training through other WINFOCUS programs.
