FUSIC® HD

• The updated FUSIC® HD curriculum takes effect on Sunday 1 February 2026. From this date, all logbooks must use the new reporting form, including the additional required measurements. Candidates already working toward FUSIC® HD accreditation do not need to restart their logbooks, and scans completed before the change will still be accepted without the new measurements. This phased transition supports fairness and allows time to adapt to the revised dataset. All examinations from 2026 onward will assess the new competencies.
• Please refer to the most up to date FUSIC® HD documentation, which can be found here and includes: the FUSIC® HD Complete Guide, Updates Document, and FUSIC® HD Training Pack, to ensure a clear understanding of the requirements for performing and reporting a comprehensive HD ultrasound.
