In Memoriam - Dr. James Kirkpatrick

It is with great sadness that we remark upon the passing of Dr. James Kirkpatrick in this issue of the POCUS Journal.Jim was widely admired and respected in the POCUS community for his enthusiasm towards point of care imaging and his embrace of learners and colleagues from around the world.Jim had an incredible way of giving to and mentoring those around him-a quiet magnetism that drew people in, supported them, and helped them achieve their goals.But Jim was also a force of nature-with his booming baritone and confident leadership.We all looked up to his strength and vision during uncertain times such as the pandemic, or to navigate complex topics and debates to achieve consensus.
