POCUS
Point of Care Ultrasound (POCUS) is increasingly standard of care in Family Medicine. Our residents have dedicated in-clinic training in bedside ultrasound for OB/GYN, FAST, IVC assessment, thoracic and abdominal assessment.
ALSO
Advanced Life Support in Obstetrics (ALSO) is an essential piece of obstetrical training provided to all first year residents. Shasta Community is proud to support our own training team: Dr. Paul Davainis and Dr. Amanda Mooneyham who teach this course annually. Both providers have extensive obstetrical experience and bring a Family Medicine touch to our OB experience.
