POCUS COMPETITION 2026

Join us June 6-7 for the Annual POCUS Competition!

​

This event will see teams of residents, medical students, RNs, physicians, and paramedics compete against each other to work through cases that utilize POCUS and SIMULATION.

​

CAEP26 will combine the technical skills and know-how of POCUS with the team collaboration and communication of simulation to solve clinical cases and we’ll see one team take home the glory at the finals.

​

Individuals who want to help with the POCUS games as a volunteer can contact Lauren Kendall Golabek: lkgolabek@caep.ca.
