"Lung Ultrasound in the ICU:
Current Applications & Future Directions"
Monday, December 8 at 12h EST
Presented By:
Alberto Goffi, MD
Associate Professor - University of Toronto
Critical Care Department of Education Co-Lead, St. Michael’s Hospital
Co-Lead, University of Toronto Interdepartmental Division of Critical Care Medicine
Critical Care Ultrasound Curriculum
Dr. Alberto Goffi is a Staff Physician at St. Michael’s Hospital – Unity Health Toronto, and Associate Professor at the University of Toronto, Department of Medicine and Interdepartmental Division of Critical Care Medicine (IDCCM). After graduating from the University of Torino (Italy) and completing his internal medicine training in the same city, he moved to Toronto in 2010 for a fellowship in adult critical care medicine. His clinical and academic interests include neurocritical care and point-of-care ultrasound in acute care medicine, with a focus on lung ultrasound and optimal teaching strategies for its competency achievement. He is the co-lead of the IDCCM Critical Care Ultrasound Curriculum and the co-lead of the Toronto Addis Ababa Academic Collaboration (TAAAC) Adult Critical Care Medicine fellowship.
Alberto loves to travel for teaching; he has taught ultrasound and neurocritical care on five different continents. In 2015, he won the Young Lecturer Award at the ESICM annual meeting. In 2019, he was selected as the recipient of the Frank S. Rutledge Award of Excellence in Critical Care Teaching.
Outside of work, Alberto has a passion for creating logos and digital drawings; the IDCCM logo is one of his creations. In the past 5 years, he has learned that nothing is more fulfilling (and tiring!) in life than playing with Sofia and Oliver, his two children.
Fun Fact
He loves point-of-care ultrasound so much that when he was a clinical fellow, the nurses named the ICU ultrasound system “Alberto’s second love”. Why second? Well, his first love was the old system that stopped working from excessive use by Alberto…
