Point of care ultrasound has become a tremendous asset in the developing world. In a resource poor environment, portable ultrasound equipment is often the most useful diagnostic modality available.

Fellows are encouraged, but not required, to pursue an international medical humanitarian trip during your fellowship. The fellowship’s faculty have previously participated in medical humanitarian trips to Fiji, Haiti, Mexico, and Honduras.

Dr. Loney and Flannigan have become faculty mentors for Michigan State University's Institute of Global Health where they plan to take at least one global health trip per year supervising medical students learning about the delivery of healthcare internationally.

One of the most important aspects of an ultrasound fellowship is becoming an outstanding educator. Dr. Flannigan has received "Excellence in Clinical Teaching Awards" for his dedication to resident education.

Fellows will have an opportunity to gain substantial lecture experience locally with emergency medicine, general surgery, medical students, and pediatric critical care fellows.

Regionally, fellows have previously been able to lecture for CME Courses setup through Emergency Care Specialists.

Additional teaching opportunities maybe available through the nationally recognized, "The Emergency Ultrasound Course". These courses provide a wonderful opportunity for professional networking. www.emergencyultrasound.com

All our machines are connected to QPathE to facilitate digital image archiving and quality assurance review. QPathE is an internet-based product that can be accessed both at the hospital and remotely.
