Champ's Sono Camp: Multidisciplinary POCUS Conference 2026

Hotel Champlain, 60 Battery Street, Burlington, Vermont.

Enrollment was limited to 60 participants, available by rolling admission.

Physicians and advanced-practice providers in Emergency Medicine, Family Practice, Primary Care, Urgent Care, Hospital Medicine, and Pediatrics.

POCUS is a bedside ultrasound technique allowing clinicians to perform focused examinations for diagnostic and procedural guidance without leaving the patient's side.

Clinicians at hands-on ultrasound courses usually wear casual or business casual clothing, such as slacks or comfortable trousers with a polo or simple top, since afternoon scanning sessions involve sitting and leaning over models. Burlington in mid-October can be cool, so a fleece or light jacket was sensible.

Yes. The course combined morning didactic lectures with afternoon hands-on training sessions using standardized patients and procedural models.

It was most useful for emergency, family, primary care, urgent care, hospital medicine and pediatric clinicians who wanted supervised scanning practice, since afternoons were hands-on with standardized patients and models and attendance was capped at 60 participants. The course was led by UVM ultrasound directors in emergency, family medicine and pediatrics, but at $1,300 before September 15 and $1,400 after, it was a real outlay for someone who only wanted a lecture overview or worked in a specialty outside those listed.
