This curriculum is entirely FOAMed based! That means that all the education provided by these links is free. These resources are from the best of the best in ultrasound, so the education is some of the highest quality available. The curriculum is broken down into sections (like cardiac or procedures) with modules containing a collection of resources for a particular scan. This is by far the most useful SonoMojo resource and my favorite part of the site, so please enjoy!
