Point-of-Care Ultrasound in Sports Medicine.
Point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS) is a well-established but historically under-utilized imaging modality in sports medicine. This playbook is designed to provide solutions to barriers of ultrasound adoption frequently encountered by sports medicine providers, as seen in the implementation of POCUS within the Tulane University Athletics Department.

We’ll cover:
- Ways POCUS can support better treatment for athletes to facilitate a quicker return to play
- What barriers you may come across when incorporating POCUS into sports medicine practice and how to overcome them
- How to maintain successful incorporation of ultrasound in the athletic training room
Read this playbook to understand what your sports medicine practice needs to implement POCUS and enhance the standard of care for your athletes.
