The EFIM Ultrasound Working Group is committed to promoting the integration of Point-of-Care Ultrasound (PoCUS) in Internal Medicine. Its mission is to support EFIM members through high-quality education, training, and professional development, enabling physicians to effectively apply PoCUS in their clinical practice. By fostering collaboration across Europe, encouraging research, and sharing best practices, the Working Group strives to enhance patient care and strengthen the role of ultrasound as a core competence in Internal Medicine.
