Ultrasound Projects
+q(85))
Outside Lectures
Anthony Dean has had a standing faculty position with the SCCEP Emergency Ultrasound Course for >12 years He lectures at these courses when he has time (usually 1-3 courses per year). The ultrasound fellows are encouraged to teach these courses during their fellowship.
Internal Lectures
Numerous lectures are given to medical students during all four years, as well as lectures and courses to residents and fellows within and outside the instition.
Administrative
Fellows are exposed to and share in the ongoing administrative tasks of an ultrasound program. Graduating fellows continue to tap into the resources and experience of the Fellowship Director who has built ultrasound programs from scratch at two large EM residency training programs (Drexel from 1996-2001 and Penn 2001-present)
Other
Because ultrasound applications used for time-critical illnesses can ONLY be provided by the EP who is caring for the patient, we feel that these applications will drive the use and acceptance of EMBU in our specialty. Therefore, in the Penn fellowship there is special emphasis on critical care applications: cardiac, pleural and pulmonary evaluation receives special weight. Current research is ongoing in uses of ultrasound in shock. We are planning investigations of its use by intensivists in the critical care units and on rapid response teams. Current projects involving venous access and ultrasound education are also in progress.
