About SPOCUS
An Inclusive Fellowship of Clinicians
SPOCUS is a fellowship of like-minded clinicians and students — EMS personnel, nurses, NPs, PAs, physicians, CRNAs, and PTs — across every medical specialty and practice setting, who recognize clinical ultrasound as a safe, cost-effective, and versatile imaging modality.
A constituent organization of the American Academy of PAs, SPOCUS is a non-profit society committed to promoting the use of ultrasound through education, governance, collaboration, and advocacy.
