ABSTRACT
ABSTRACT Implementation of a comprehensive point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS) program for nurse practitioners (NPs) and physician assistants (PAs) in an intensive care unit (ICU) setting improves their diagnostic and therapeutic skills and enhances patient care. Overcoming staffing, IT infrastructure, and administrative challenges has allowed our critical care medicine service to develop a successful program that empowers NPs and PAs and boosts their professional growth. Our POCUS program underscores the necessity of institutional support, dedicated mentorship, collaboration with qualified faculty, and creation and maintenance of a curriculum that adheres to accepted national guidelines. Insights gained from our experiences can serve as a valuable resource for institutions aiming to develop their own POCUS programs.
