Our fellowship is ideal for motivated individuals who wish to distinguish themselves as leaders in emergency ultrasound.

• Our fellow will function as the Ultrasound Service Chief in a smaller community hospital outside of Ann Arbor.

o physician credentialing
o quality assurance
o ultrasound directed protocols
o equipment and software maintenance and purchasing

o small and large community emergency departments
o out-patient clinics
o virtual quality assurance programs
o large academic centers
o entrepreneurial ultrasound applications

• Our fellow will be involved in leadership and advocacy of bedside ultrasound on both a state level through Detroit Area Ultrasound Society, MCEP (Michigan College of Emergency Physicans) and nationally through ACEP (American College of Emergency Physicians)

• Our fellowship will provide comprehensive ultrasound education with opportunities including supervision of the ultrasound education for medical students as well as residents in the St. Joseph Mercy Hospital/University of Michigan Emergency Medicine Residency.
