Additional faculty have extensive ultrasound experience.

We are looking for candidates who are motivated and dedicated to enhancing their skill in not only clinical sonography, but also in education, and research to join our EUFAC accredited advanced emergency ultrasound fellowship! Emergency ultrasound fellows will have at their disposal state-of-the-art equipment, dedicated faculty, a large busy ED with diverse pathology, and extensive research support.

Fellows will have the opportunity to scan with the EUS faculty, on their own, and with the residents and medical students. Numerous teaching opportunities will develop skill at lecturing and bedside instruction. There will be opportunities to work with other services such as cardiology/echo, pediatric emergency medicine, and critical care.

Weekly ultrasound review will be the educational focal point of the fellowship. Fellows, rotating residents, off-service staff, and medical students will be expected to attend. All ED scans will be reviewed and critiqued. Sessions will also include EUS journal club as well as didactics.

Individual interests and pursuits are encouraged and will be given every effort to support.
