A department chair or medical director knows POCUS belongs in their practice. The problem is everything that comes after that decision: no training program that actually sticks, workflows that haven't been built, and POCUS being done every day without a single reimbursement captured. Machines that cost thousands of dollars sitting idle, and providers scanning without documentation or credentialing that would hold up to scrutiny
That's where Peachtree POCUS comes in. Josh Guttman, MD is a fellowship-trained POCUS specialist and Associate Professor at Emory who has helped facilities across the country get past those exact walls. He doesn't only teach you ultrasound basics, he fixes the operational problems that are keeping your program from running.
