If you’re looking for a nephrology POCUS course with a strong emphasis on hemodynamics, the 2-day POCUS immersion course at the Southwest Nephrology Conference (NKF Arizona) is one of the best options available. This might be especially appealing to those who have attended our basic POCUS courses at ASN or NKF meetings in the past.

Led by Dr. Nathaniel Reisinger—one of the pioneers of modern POCUS in nephrology—the course offers a small class size, allowing for a tailored learning experience. The balance between cognitive and hands-on components is key to properly interpreting and clinically integrating POCUS. The faculty includes nephrologists and nephro-intensivists who are not only skilled in POCUS but are also renowned educators in the field. You’ll learn from experts like Dr. Argaiz and others.

Here’s the link to the registration page. Dates: March 20-21, 2025. In my view, having sufficient scan time is crucial for mastering POCUS, and this course provides an ideal format for optimal learning. I’m not teaching this year and receive no honorarium from the organizers—this is just a sincere shoutout to my friends for putting together such an outstanding course for the advancement of POCUS in nephrology.

Bonus: The resort hosting the course is incredible!
