About CastleFest
What is CastleFest?
CastleFest began in 2011 with the goal of being a one-stop event for learning ultrasound with a focus on hands-on practice with the top thinkers in the field of ultrasound. Each year that ultrasound use has advanced, so has CastleFest with more and more lectures and more and more time for hands-on instructor guidance. Each year, when this event is over, attendees leave with a renewed sense of motivation and inspiration to include bedside ultrasound into their practice each day.
