Dear colleagues and friends,

We are proud to announce the 7^th International Bedside Ultrasound Workshop in Pediatric Emergency, Neonatal and Intensive Care Medicine.

Lectures provided by international multi-discipline pediatric specialists will describe pediatric bedside ultrasound techniques and highlight relevant literature supporting applications in practice. Hands-on stations will allow learners to practice skills 8 hours in these two days.

I would like to emphasize that in 2027, we will be offering a special neonatology session for the second time. In 2026, we received excellent feedback in the evaluation for our highly practice-oriented course.

This means that the groups will be split up on the second day, and our colleagues from the neonatology department will organize the lectures and hands-on exercises.

It also means that on the second day, the other group will focus more on topics related to pediatric emergency medicine, pediatric intensive care, and pediatric surgery.

This will allow us to meet the demand for more specialization in our course without losing the interdisciplinary component.

Thanks to the online lecture held before the course, our workshop is also suitable for beginners. With our experts and time set aside for questions, we also have something to offer all advanced participants.

The Workshop will take place on 22-23 May 2027 at the University Children’s Hospital, Inselspital, in Berne, Switzerland.
The Workshop is limited to 60 participants.

Registration opens in mid-August.

Sincerely yours

Steffen Schmidt, MD
