A Comprehensive Critical Care Ultrasound Education Ecosystem

Supporting program leaders in developing uniform, high-level ultrasound proficiency across fellows and trainees

SonoSim provides critical care programs with a complete ultrasound education platform, fully mapped to the Society of Critical Care Medicine official statement on appropriate knowledge- and skills-based training objectives.

SonoSim helps busy critical care program directors by:

  • Developing a solid foundation of ultrasound knowledge across critical care topics
  • Delivering cloud-based instruction across hundreds of ultrasound applications, including critical topics
  • Enabling image acquisition and interpretation skills with standardized access to normal and real pathologic cases using the SonoSimulator
  • Tracking performance, providing feedback, and generating ultrasound e-portfolios for each fellow
  • Preparing fellows for the Critical Care Echocardiography (CCEeXAM®) using SonoSim cardiac modules, Case Studies, and QuestionBank

Building Ultrasound Proficiency Across Critical Care Programs

Comprehensive curriculum coverage across the clinical domains that matter most

Critical care ultrasound spans a wide range of applications, and SCCM training objectives reflect that breadth. SonoSim delivers curriculum coverage across the core clinical domains, giving fellows a structured path to develop both knowledge and skills.

Programs use SonoSim to deliver instruction across physics, cardiac, echo, pulmonary, and vascular ultrasound, with content built to align directly to the SCCM official statement on training objectives.

SonoSim curriculum coverage includes:

  • Cardiac and echocardiography content covering transthoracic views, ventricular and atrial assessment, pericardial effusion, tamponade physiology, and fluid responsiveness
  • Pulmonary and vascular applications including pneumothorax, pleural effusion, deep venous thrombosis, and ultrasound guidance for bedside procedures such as vascular access, thoracentesis, and paracentesis
  • Foundational physics, artifact recognition, and equipment operation that prepares fellows to acquire and interpret images with confidence

Supporting Faculty and Program Growth in Critical Care

Tools to help educators teach, assess, and scale ultrasound training across fellows

Critical Care faculty carry the responsibility of building ultrasound proficiency across every fellow in the program, often with limited time and competing clinical demands. Delivering uniform training across a cohort takes more than bedside teaching alone.

SonoSim provides faculty with the tools and resources to support curriculum delivery, learner assessment, and program-wide standardization, helping critical care programs build and sustain ultrasound education at scale.

Integrate Ultrasound into Decision-Making with SonoSim LiveScan®

Prepare fellows to apply ultrasound in real-world critical care scenarios

SonoSim LiveScan extends ultrasound education beyond the screen, allowing programs to assess how learners apply POCUS in realistic, dynamic clinical scenarios. By combining live scanning with simulated pathology and evolving patient conditions, LiveScan helps faculty evaluate clinical reasoning, image acquisition, and decision-making as they happen across outpatient, inpatient, and procedural settings.

  • Conduct realistic, live scenarios that enhance the application of ultrasound in clinical decision-making
  • Instantly transform any manikin or live volunteer into a "patient" with real pathology
  • Add another layer of realism by dynamically adjusting patient conditions in response to learner decision-making

A Structured Approach to Critical Care Ultrasound Training

A practical, program-level approach to training and assessment

Critical care programs are tasked with developing ultrasound proficiency across every fellow, spanning physics, cardiac, echo, pulmonary, and vascular applications. Reaching that level of competency requires more than didactic instruction or relying on the pathology that happens to walk through the door.

Programs use SonoSim to support a structured approach to ultrasound education that combines didactic learning, hands-on scanning with the SonoSimulator, and applied clinical practice. Fellows gain repeated exposure to normal and real pathologic cases while developing the ability to acquire, interpret, and integrate ultrasound findings into bedside care.

For faculty, SonoSim helps standardize training and assessment across the program while integrating into existing curricula. Programs can support hands-on scanning, performance tracking, and feedback as fellows progress toward independent ultrasound use in critical care.
