About SASKSONO17CONFERENCE DESCRIPTIONSASKSONO17 is an interactive day of instruction in ultrasonography designed to meet the learning needs of clinicians throughout the spectrum of patient care. This includes family physicians, specialist physicians, (surgeons, internists, intensivists, anethesiologists), medical residents, and students. It may be of interest to nurses, nurse practitioners, and paramedics. The conference incorporates a variety of learning formats to maximize hands-on applied skills sessions and individualized feedback from experienced clinicians.

CONFERENCE LEARNING OBJECTIVESParticipants will be able to:• Describe the role of clinical ultrasonography

across various disciplines, with a focus on acute and critical care

• Draw the right conclusions from new data, focusing on patient safety

• Effectively communicate POCUS findings to colleagues

• Apply learning in hands on sessions to improve techniques and interpretation

Brian has completed concurrent fellowship training in critical care ultrasound including trans-thoracic / esophageal echocardiography, vascular and lung ultrasound (Western University, 2015-2016). His clinical and research interests include medical education, critical care ultrasonography, critical thinking and critical care. Brian has instructed several national and international critical care ultrasound courses and authored multiple chapters on critical care echocardiography. He is currently completing a Masters of Medical Education (Dundee University) with a focus on training, competency and quality assurance in critical care ultrasound. Dr. Buchanan has a love for music, competitive swimming and a penchant for dark humor. Brian joined the University of Alberta, Department of Critical Care Medicine as a staff intensivist in July 2016 and is thrilled to have returned to Edmonton with his wife, Lindsay, and newborn son, Harrison.

Dr. Kish Lyster Dr. Lyster is currently the Medical Director of Regina’s Dilawri Simulation Centre. He is interested in Human Factors in Medicine as well as Innovation in Resuscitation. He is also active in Point of Care Ultrasound. Kish is excited to be involved in the delivery of simulation training

for rural Saskatchewan through the STARS Mobile Education Program. He is a Hospitalist and a STARS Transport physician.

Dr. Irene MaDr. Ma is a general internist at the Foothills Medical Centre and an Associate Professor in the Department of Medicine, University of Calgary. Dr. Ma received her Medical Degree from the University of British

Columbia (UBC), a MSc. in Epidemiology from Stanford University, and a PhD in Medical Education from the University of Calgary. She recently completed her Emergency Ultrasound fellowship at Massachusetts General Hospital and is RDMS certified.
