While working in a cohort of talented, mission driven and supportive colleagues, ultrasonography fellows will get the chance to experience multiple, robust practice settings.
System Activities
Point-of-Care Ultrasound (POCUS) Operations currently serve at seven clinical sites. In 2021, over 4,300 clinically indicated exams were performed. Ultrasound has increased collaboration with Trauma Surgery which has allowed the division to increase consistency of FAST exam and conduct a quality assurance project: Use of POCUS in Traumatic Cardiac Arrest. The division is invested in bringing state-of-the-art technology to clinical providers, such as a new 3D printer.
