Overview

This two week rotation will serve as an introduction to bedside ultrasound in the emergency department. The rotation will include online didactics and quizzes, in-person scan shifts with senior residents and ultrasound credentialed faculty, and tape review.

Online Didactics

Rotators will be assigned videos on core emergency ultrasound topics, including FAST and echo. Each online module has a quiz to be completed at the end.

Journal Club

The ultrasound division hosts journal club for faculty and residents, which the rotator will be invited to attend should it fall during their rotation.

Scan Shifts

Rotators will scan in the emergency department Monday-Friday from 9am-4pm. Rotators will be part of our ultrasound team, consisting of junior and senior residents. Some of these shifts will be led by our ultrasound track residents, and some will be supervised by ultrasound trained faculty.

Presentation

Rotators will be expected to prepare a 10 minute presentation on an ultrasound case or topic of their choice, to be presented on the last day.

Tape Review

Rotators will also attend our tape review, where we review the scans performed during the rotation and discuss image acquisition and interpretation.
