Rotation Guide & Goals
The main purpose of the elective is to learn, practice, and review all applications for Emergency Ultrasonography. This is done by attending our weekly US scanning shifts, US QA review, and US lectures/workshops. You will also come to scan independently in the ED while one of the US faculty are on shift for supervision. You will attend the weekly EM Resident Core Curriculum to continue to learn emergency medicine. By the end of the 2 week elective you will have performed enough studies to satisfy Level 1 credentialing according to ACEP. There is an option to do a 4 week elective if approved by our schedule. It is recommended to reserve 3 months in advance. Of note, this rotation will involve a large portion of adult US in the ED.
Residents can inquire about US scanning in the PICU with Dr. Ghazi-Askar.
