4th Annual Ultrafest
Hosted by the Stanford Emergency Medicine Department
On September 28th, 2019 the Stanford Emergency Medicine Department hosted its 4th annual Ultrafest event. Ultrafest is a conference that gathers hundreds of medical students from around the country to learn bedside ultrasound. Dr. Karen Cosby, author of the Practical Guide to Emergency Ultrasound, was the keynote speaker. Small group sessions reviewed the spectrum of ultrasound applications including, abdominal, echocardiograms, line placement, orbital, pediatrics, patient simulation, extended focused assessment with sonography in trauma (EFAST), Rapid Ultrasound in SHock (RUSH), and musculoskeletal. Members of Physical Medicine & Rehabilitation department volunteered to teach the musculoskeletal station. Department volunteers included attending physicians (Dr. Henry Huie, Dr. Molly Timmerman), sports fellows (Dr. Kevin Mullins, Dr. Dan Sisk, and Dr. Lauren Bosshardt), and residents (Anne Kuwabara, Nolan Gall, Emily Miller, Michelle Lee, Anthony Kenrick, and Khanh Huynh).
2019 Ultrasound Anatomy Skills Lab
September 11, 2019
Dr. Eugene Roh headed this years Ultrasound Anatomy Skills Lab with the help from fellow Stanford PM&R faculty Dr. Jeremy Stanek, Dr. Vivian Shih, and our Spine Intervention Fellow, Dr. Buzz Barrette. Additionally he recruited the expertise from some our affiliated teaching faculty, Dr. Molly Timmerman from the Palo Alto VA and Dr. Henry Huie from Santa Clara Valley Medical Center. This amazing group of dedicated and experienced doctors worked with our residents, as well as some medical students, sharing their wealth of knowledge with hands on training covering injection skills on the joint, hip, biceps, ankle, and nerve. Ultrasound practice on each other was also included in the days offering. These skills labs are one of the most valued learning sessions, allowing residents to practice their techniques in a controlled environment. Thank you to all those faculty who help make our program so unique, and a big thanks to Dr. Roh, for once again, providing this outstanding learning opportunity!

Anatomy and Ultrasound Workshop
On September 19 and 26 Dr. Roh held his annual 2 day Anatomy and Ultrasound workshop. This was a unique experience with the primary audience being our Residents but included both Fellows and Medical Students too. This workshop allowed the residents to have dedicated hands on time to practice their ultrasound scanning and guided interventions for a variety of conditions. Training in the anatomy lab gives the students a unique opportunity to enhance their skills without the stress of working on a live patient.
