The World Interactive Network Focused On Critical UltraSound (WINFOCUS) is the world leader scientific network committed to develop Point-of-Care Ultrasound practice, research, education, technology, and networking, addressing the needs of patients, institutions, services, and communities living in every out-of-hospital and in-hospital critical clinical scenario (www.winfocus.org).

 WINFOCUS Academy courses are based on the most recent evidence on Point of Care Ultrasound (PoCUS) practice and education, and on the experience of teaching PoCUS courses on hundreds of occasions in more than fifty countries around the globe in the past 15 years.

 A pathophysiology-based approach - A significant amount of the educational content in the e-lectures is devoted to explaining the pathophysiological basis of the relevant PoCUS findings, because PoCUS mostly unveils pathophysiology (and only sometimes allows the definite diagnosis).

 An evidence-based sonography approach - Based on a thorough review of the most updated PoCUS literature, we describe in these presentations the in-context accuracy for each of the ultrasound signs on which PoCUS use is based. We then pragmatically summarize this evidence into reference values and qualitative parameters that are usable as a guidance, especially for the novice practitioners.

 A clinical-sonographic integrated approach - These e-courses cover the basics of image acquisition, image interpretation, and detailed clinical integration of the information obtained with the various PoCUS applications for clinical management of mainly critically ill patients.

 The hallmark of these e-courses is that they can either be attended as standalone by those willing to perfect their PoCUS knowledge, or as an e-learning component of WINFOCUS courses in their new blended learning format, that would include focused practical training as well.
