The Point-of-Care Ultrasound (POCUS) Lung Certificate Certification Exam

The Point-of-Care Ultrasound Lung Certificate (POCUS) Hospitals nationwide now mandate POCUS competency for emergency medicine residents and acute care teams managing respiratory distress. The certificate validates proficiency in detecting pneumothorax, pleural effusion, and pulmonary edema at bedside—skills employers view as essential for reducing diagnostic delays and improving patient outcomes in time-sensitive scenarios.
