    About USabcd

    USabcdUSabcd was founded in 2010 by Erik Sloth, MD, PhD, DMSc, Professor of Point-Of-Care Ultrasound, Lars Knudsen, MD, PhD, and Thomas Fichtner Bendtsen, MD, PhD, research anesthetist - all from Aarhus University Hospital, Denmark. Their vision? Global dissemination of point-of-care ultrasound as a universal tool to improve the quality of acute, critical, and perioperative patient care. Their method? The unique USabcd learning concept that combines eLearning with focused, structured and comprehensive 1- to 2-day workshops of hands-on training for maximum learning outcomes. Courses based on this concept are now run all over the world.
