Our two POCUS experts are Radiologist Dr. Shyr Chui and POCUS instructor Dr. Virginia Robinson. They are available weekdays from 9am to 5pm and can help with:

• MSK ultrasound
• Obstetrics
• Abdominal
• DVT
• Basic cardiology (echo)
• and more!

The service is available to rural healthcare providers Monday to Friday (except holidays) from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. through RTVS Zoom. Check the RTVS POCUS account in the Quick Reply section of Zoom for the cell phone number of the provider who is on duty and can support. Call this cell and the provider will walk you through the correct workflow for the type of POCUS device you are using.
