• Course Title: POCUS Breast Ultrasound for Clinical Assessment and Triage
• Institution: Ecoworld Class
• Course Duration: 40–60 hours
• Delivery Format: Hybrid (Online + Optional Hands-On Training)
• Language: English / Spanish
• Target Audience: Physicians, Nurses, Sonographers, Advanced Practice Providers 

This program provides focused training in point-of-care breast ultrasound (POCUS) for clinical assessment and triage. The course is designed to help healthcare providers identify common benign findings, recognize suspicious features, and determine appropriate referral pathways. This program does not replace formal diagnostic breast imaging or mammography. Instead, it emphasizes rapid bedside evaluation, clinical decision-making, and safe integration of ultrasound findings into patient care.
