Sonosite believes that the best chance any patient has at getting better is a clinician at their bedside with the right answers, and the confidence to act.
Our industry-changing development of point-of-care ultrasound brought about the need for ongoing education in the field for physicians. Sonosite was the first portable ultrasound manufacturer that was fully dedicated to helping medical professionals learn to use ultrasound at the bedside. Sonosite have partnered with clinician educators around the world to produce specialty specific point-of-care ultrasound education resources.
