THE BOOTCAMP EXPERIENCE
Get the most hands-on learning of any three day POCUS course.
You’re busy and your time is valuable. Don’t spend it sitting through lectures or standing in lines to use an ultrasound machine. High ratio instructors and machines. Tightly timed scanning. You will get over 25 hours of hands-on learning without any filler.
Why EDE Bootcamps?
The EDE courses are the most widely taught and refined programs of their kind in Canada. More clinicians have learned POCUS through EDE than any other course. The EDE Bootcamps have spent years developing the most efficient system to deliver hands-on education. These are the simply the best of the best. Ask any of our graduates.
FLIPPED CLASSROOM
Didactic content is provided through online manuals and video tutorials to be completed at your own pace before the workshop. No wasted time on long lectures.
CUSTOMIZED TO THE LEARNER
Everyone has a unique speed of learning and initial motor skills. We carefully assess your needs and tailor instruction time and resources to assist with any challenges.
HIGHEST INSTRUCTOR RATIOS
No other course provides as many educators. Most ultrasound programs have 3 to 5 students per station and many have one instructor managing two stations. With bootcamps every station has its own bedside instructor and there are no more than 2 students per station. Extra instructors constantly move around the workshop providing additional teaching to those in need.

Excellent learning opportunity. I feel like I have gained a lot from this course that will change my ER practice. I was impressed with the flow of the practical stations. I would recommend this boot camp to others.
Dr. Brewster Laxton
Thanks to you and your team for putting together a great course last weekend.
That was intense, but really good.
Thanks for all of the hard work.
Your instructors were excellent – knowledgeable, excited, and full of good advice and tips.
And your model selection was fantastic – it was the first course I’ve done where the models were a real selection of body types, and you got to learn and tweak the techniques on so many different ages, weights, and genders.
