Point-of-Care Ultrasound (POCUS) Lower Extremity Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT) Certificate
This program is an online certification program designed to provide independent validation of a clinical provider’s proficiency in Lower Extremity DVT POCUS. The POCUS Clinical Certificate is comprised of two assessments: a Clinical Case-Based Assessment and a Peer Evaluation.
Clinical Case-Based Assessment
This clinical certificate was developed using a standard template that has been customized for the lower extremity DVT. The clinical case-based assessments are designed to simulate a clinical encounter. Question types range from multiple choice to hotspots. For hotspots, you will be asked to locate the requested feature within the interactive image provided.
Peer Evaluations
The peer evaluation is designed to assess your practical abilities in POCUS. Clinicians of your choosing will be sent an anonymous questionnaire to evaluate your POCUS abilities. Assessment results are based on the first two evaluations received.

- Successful completion of the POCUS Fundamentals Certificate.
- Must be a health care professional in good standing and actively practicing in a relevant clinical area.
