Our Emergency Department boasts a vibrant Ultrasound Section that is committed to promoting resident excellence in the diagnostic and procedural applications of emergency bedside sonography.<\/p>\n

The Ultrasound Section is active in resident education, holding a lecture series as part of the annual conference curriculum and numerous small group sessions that provide hands-on instruction by faculty. Overall, the ultrasound section sponsors more than 250 hours of faculty-taught ultrasound training activities every year. This includes interactive didactics, regular hands-on small group sessions on simulation days as well as our own departmental SonoBowl! Each year we sponsor a team to compete in Sonogames at SAEM.<\/p>\n

Emergency Ultrasound Fellowship<\/h3>\n

BMC offers a well-established, EUFAC credentialed, Advanced Emergency Ultrasound Fellowship. For more information and to apply,\u00a0click here<\/a>. (in case you need it, that url is:\u00a0https:\/\/www.eusfellowships.com\/programs\/details?id=48<\/a>)<\/p>\n

Resident Rotations<\/h3>\n

Interns start their year with a 15-hour introduction to emergency ultrasound during orientation and then complete a one month rotation with frequent one-on-one instruction by ultrasound faculty and weekly image review.<\/p>\n

Residents may also participate in advanced ultrasound electives after their intern year. Advanced electives involve self-directed learning in an area of interest for the participating resident.<\/p>\n

All graduating residents are expected to meet ACEP\u2019s ultrasound training guidelines as a minimum. Ongoing quality assurance is accomplished by review of recorded studies by US section faculty. Upon graduation, residents receive an \u201cAttestation of Emergency Ultrasound Training at BMC\u201d document outlining their training experience and total studies performed and reviewed.<\/p>\n
