Welcome to WINFOCUS World Symposium 2023
At WINFOCUS, our mission has always been to push the boundaries of ultrasound – educational, clinical, and research all over the world through our shared passion for ultrasound.
This year, we are reverting to a Virtual symposium, the theme will be how ultrasound helps guide the various aspects of clinical procedures and interventions:
What’s new? We are excited to announce two exceptional new sessions, Members and Research choice sessions. The first will have educational content chosen by WINFOCUS members, while the second will set the direction of ultrasound research within WINFOCUS.
Another major component this year is the In-person POW (Point of care Ultrasound)!
There will be something for everyone!

POW! POCUS One-world Workshops!
On December 3rd, we have organized hands-on ultrasound workshops globally in over 23 countries. In order to maximize PoCUS education accessibility, several of these workshops will be delivered for free in underserved areas of the planet, consistently with WINFOCUS vision and mission. The ultimate goal will be promoting awareness, in the global medical community and in the society at large, of PoCUS and ultrasound practice.
