On March 27-29 there is a POCUS (Point-of-Care Ultrasound) Conference being held at the Austin Convention Center where physician faculty will be teaching physician attendees advanced POCUS skills. This is a 4-day medical conference put on by Society of Hospital Medicine, with physicians coming in from all over the country.
On Monday, March 27th at 2:45 – 3:45pm there is a 2-hour “Special Event” called “Survive! The POCUS Apocalypse!”. We need volunteers to serve as Zombies, Patient Models and makeup artists to help us with this event. Unfortunately, we do not receive funding for this course so anyone who is willing to help would be doing so on a volunteer basis. This could be people needing practice on movie makeup skills, or even an addition on their resume.
We would need:
- 3-4 Zombies walking around the room while scanning is being done
- 2-3 Makeup artists to Zombify people (they could always do their own makeup and serve as a zombie)
- 6-8 Patient Models: this group will actually be on beds being scanned by doctors (we have more specific info on that so Patient Models are prepared)
