About SPOCUS

SPOCUS is an inclusive fellowship of like-minded clinicians and students who share a passion for POCUS. Our members include EMS & austere prehospital 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 that can have a profound impact on patient care and advance medical education.

​SPOCUS, a constituent organization of the American Academy of PAs, is committed to promoting the use of ultrasound through education, governance, collaboration, and advocacy, for all providers who utilize ultrasound.

SPOCUS is dedicated to its members and the support of POCUS as a whole. We are a non-profit society without a tethered relationship to pharma or industry and do not exist to profit or sell anything other than the concept that POCUS helps deliver superior care and helps students learn valuable bedside clinical skills.

Our Mission
  1. Promote high quality clinical ultrasound training and employment for clinicians in every specialty and practice setting through the utilization of The Guidelines for Clinical Ultrasound Utilization.
  2. Help students attain the very best medical education possible by supporting faculty of education/training programs, towards development of “Day One Ultrasound Integration” into their programs’ curriculum.
