Focused Pleural and Vascular Ultrasound
Overview
Intended for clinicians with working knowledge of ultrasound theory and operation, this 2-day course will allow participants to:
- Practice image acquisition of the thorax and vascular structures.
- Interpret ultrasound images of the thorax and vascular structures.
- Demonstrate ultrasonography guided vascular access.
This course is specifically designed to help program directors train fellows in ultrasound guidance of pleural and vascular access, a recommendation recently made by the American Board of Internal Medicine (ABIM) for fellowship training programs.
Objectives
As a participant, you will work to demonstrate the ability to use ultrasound to guide pleural and vascular access. You will work to achieve this goal by:
- Practicing image acquisition of the thorax and vascular structures.
- Interpreting ultrasound images of the thorax and vascular structures.
- Demonstrating ultrasonography guided vascular access.

CME Information
CME Hours
The American College of Chest Physicians (ACCP) designates this educational activity for a maximum of 18.75 AMA PRA Category 1 Credit™. Physicians should only claim credit commensurate with the extent of their participation in the activity.
Accreditation Statement
ACCP is accredited by the Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education to provide continuing medical education for physicians.
Disclosure Statement
The ACCP remains strongly committed to providing the best available evidence-based clinical information to participants of this educational activity and requires an open disclosure of any potential conflict of interest identified by all of our faculty members. It is not the intent of the ACCP to eliminate all situations of potential conflict of interest, but rather to enable those who are working with the ACCP to recognize situations that may be subject to questions by others. All disclosed conflicts of interest are reviewed by the educational activity course director/chair, the Education Committee, or the Conflict of Interest Review Committee to ensure that such situations are properly evaluated and, if necessary, resolved. The ACCP educational standards pertaining to conflict of interest are intended to maintain the professional autonomy of the clinical experts inherent in promoting a balanced presentation of independent, objective, scientifically balanced presentations of information. Disclosure of any or no relationships will be made available for all educational activities.
ACCP Education Mission
To develop educational delivery systems for chest, critical care, and sleep physicians that facilitate lifelong learning and optimize clinical care through the following Continuing Education Committee goals:
- Identify topics in which an educational need indicates that the diagnosis and management of chest disease, pulmonary, critical care, and sleep medicine could be significantly improved by providing new information. Dissemination of this information would have high global health and economic impact. The information would ideally be based upon a body of published evidence or evidence-based guidelines.
- Promote lifelong learning through the use of the ACCP education curriculum that reflects clinicians’ time, fiscal practicality, incorporation of evidence-based guidelines, and the use of current technology.
- Work with other organizations to develop sponsor and/or disseminate continuing medical education programs or enduring products.
- Implement continuing medical education delivery systems that meet or exceed the current guidelines of the Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education.
- Assess the educational significance and impact on learners who have participated in the ACCP education curriculum.
