Last Year UCI, held the first ever Sonosite supported Ultrafest.  Then it expanded to Stanford and TJU with resounding success.   Last weekend, it went to Europe with the first Ultrafest in Maribor, Slovenia.

Ingrid Yuile, an accredited ultrasound educator and medical sonographer with 7 years of experience scanning in hospitals and private clinics across the country,  took her training skills and Sonosite EDGE to the steppes of Mongolia and found a country of beauty and complexity.  This is her story:

“In June 2015, I set off with 8 intrepid emergency physicians to teach emergency medicine to Mongolian doctors across a range disciplines.

From ground zero of the Ebola outbreak – Dr.Trish Henwood is on a medical mission to better understand the pathophysiology of the disease and her Sonosite ultrasound has already been proven invaluable. It is pioneer physicians like Trish that will allow the global medical community to get a grasp on this devastating illness and with our support she is actually making that happen.

As one of our global initiatives, Sonosite is proud to support PURE with M-Turbo equipment.  Its portability and resilience make it a perfect solution when travelling to resource-limited environments.

This past March three PURE traveled to Rwanda to teach point of care ultrasound to 15 internal medicine resident trainees as well as 11 general practitioners working in the emergency department at the country’s main government teaching and referral hospital.
