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. We recognize the cost is significant but you get exactly what you pay for. They 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 can require different approaches to achieving skills. We carefully assess your needs then tailor instruction time and resources to assist with any challenges. We use real-time monitoring of each participant’s progress so no one gets left behind. From medical student to clinicians with 50 years of experience, we can get you using POCUS independently.

OVER 100 LIVE MODELS

Participants will practice scanning on over 100 live models of varying body habitus and age. Models with postive findings are recruited as well. Emphasis is placed on problem solving approaches to the difficult scan and generating quality images.

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 or more stations. With our 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 one-one-one teaching to those in need.

CERTIFICATION EXAMS INCLUDED

Bootcamp includes written, practical and visual exams needed to obtain Canadian Point of Care Ultrasound Certification. That’s over 5 hours of additional instructor time! Most POCUS courses provide bedside teaching but bootcamps make sure you have consolidated your knowledge and spend time testing and reviewing positive findings and clinical integration.

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.

Dr. Chris Warner

Thanks for a great EDE1 Bootcamp – already using my news skills. Here’s a 7cm AAA I saw yesterday!

Dr. William Stuart

Your team is very organized, very very patient, and really seem to know their stuff. Thus far, probably the best and most useful course I have taken since med school.
