Emergency Ultrasound

Each Emergency Ultrasound rotation begins with an orientation session and hands-on scanning with EUS faculty.

All residents complete over 250 quality reviewed exams becoming qualified to utilize U.S. in their daily clinical work. During the EUS rotation, residents will be scanning in the ED from Monday through Friday, with dedicated scan session with EUS faculty and fellows. During the weekly image credentialing review, residents are taught the important yet subtle details of this powerful diagnostic technique. Weekly journal club helps provide an opportunity to review fundamental concepts in the latest EUS textbooks, as well as the latest research in the EUS literature.

During our dynamic four-year curriculum, residents learn to become the next leaders in EUS by teaching EUS to third and fourth year medical students, writing case studies and participating in EUS research.
