Focused Acute Medicine Ultrasound (FAMUS)
Focused Acute Medicine Ultrasound (FAMUS) is the point of care ultrasound standard created for Acute Medicine physicians to aid the management of the acutely unwell adult patient. It is endorsed by the Society for Acute Medicine and recognised by the AIM training committee as one way of achieving the mandatory AIM POCUS competencies. We welcome interest from anyone with an interest in point of care ultrasound to consider accrediting or supervising this process.
The accreditation process is split into modules, with candidates able to choose the module(s) that are relevant to their practice.
Please see the links below for relevant information about each module, including registration details, accreditation process and information on courses and supervisors. Individual curriculum packs are available for each module on the module information page and in the useful documents section.
