Touro University California College of Osteopathic Medicine (TUCOM) is taking a step in advancing medical education by providing all incoming first-year medical students with Vave Health's cutting-edge handheld ultrasound probes.

This initiative is designed to improve clinical training and enhance the learning experience for future healthcare professionals, reflecting Touro's commitment to integrating innovative technology in medical education.

As the first medical school in the San Francisco Bay Area to fully integrate this technology across its curriculum, TUCOM is positioning its students at the forefront of modern healthcare. The integration of point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS) allows students to directly visualize anatomy and physiological processes, giving them practical, hands-on experience that bridges theory and clinical practice from day one.

Dr. Tami Hendriksz, Dean of the College of Osteopathic Medicine, highlighted the significance of this investment: "The incorporation of Vave’s portable ultrasound technology is a testament to Touro’s dedication to providing students with the best tools for success. This ensures our graduates are well-prepared to meet the evolving demands of healthcare."

“Vave’s technology is advancing medical education with affordable, state-of-the-art ultrasound probes and integrated educational content,” said Amin Nikoozadeh, Founder and CEO of Vave Health. “Touro is enhancing the way future physicians are trained by empowering each and every student with their own ultrasound probe."

With this initiative, Touro University California continues to set a high standard in medical education, ensuring students are well-equipped to deliver quality patient care throughout their careers.
