Fellowship Program in Emergency Ultrasound

Massachusetts General Hospital is accepting applicants for their Fellowship Program in Emergency Ultrasound.

The Emergency Ultrasound Fellowship Program, which began in 2007, is a one-year program designed to give graduates of emergency medicine residency programs the skills and knowledge to become ultrasound program directors and leaders in the field of emergency ultrasound. There are four components to the fellowship program:

• Learning image acquisition and interpretation skills for both basic and advanced emergency and point of care ultrasound applications
• Understanding the information technology applications required to run an emergency ultrasound program and how to best utilize them for image archiving and quality assurance
• Understanding the state of emergency ultrasound research by participating in weekly ultrasound journal club activities and developing an independent research project from its inception to publication
• Developing lecturing and teaching skills by developing an emergency ultrasound lecture portfolio and contributing to the program’s educational mission

The goal of the ultrasound fellowship is to provide you with all the tools you would need to become an Ultrasound Director of any Emergency Department, and a leader in the field. The educational component of the Ultrasound Fellowship involves both a large amount of learning and teaching ultrasound.
