WINFOCUS World Symposium "From blind to sight, from darkness to light" PoCUS for guiding medical interventions: state of the art 2nd December 2023

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.
There will be something for everyone!

Virtual Congress Agenda

(All times Antalya time, GMT+3)

Track one

Track 1: PoCUS for the specialist, new science, and the cutting edge

What is new in ultrasound?  New approaches, new uses, new ideas, new applications?  What lies beyond the horizon? What new tools are being developed? How will new forms of connectivity, AI, and machine learning affect future directions of PoCUS?   What new scientific information is there to topple the shibboleths of PoCUS?  Are you heading for the frontier? Check out this Track for a taste of what might be in store for you there. All sessions will include 20 to 40 minutes of panel discussion in which you will be able to share your knowledge and insights as well as your doubts and concerns.

Track two

Track 2: PoCUS for the generalist; honing skills, refining practice

Why do the top athletes in the world spend hours a week with trainers who have never won a major competition? Which of us knows so much about ultrasound that we cannot profit from the insights and experience of others? Tune in to Track 2 to put a new edge on tried and tested tools; to refresh, refine, recalibrate and generally spruce up your ultrasound practice. All sessions will include 20 to 40 minutes of panel discussion in which you will be able to share your knowledge and insights as well as your doubts and concerns.
