Emergency Ultrasound
Together with fellows and faculty, residents gain knowledge of ultrasound evaluation and the skills needed to incorporate ultrasound into their regular clinical practice. Our ultrasound team is highly supportive of residents’ academic endeavors and is also committed to improving undergraduate medical education by teaching medical students on-shift and by conducting workshops with Rush Medical College.

Our residents participate in dedicated ultrasound rotations PGY1-PGY4 years. All residents complete over 250 quality reviewed exams, becoming qualified to utilize ultrasound in their daily clinical work. During the Emergency Ultrasound (EUS) rotation, residents will scan patients in the ED from Monday through Friday, including dedicated scan sessions 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 from EUS textbooks, as well as the latest research in the EUS literature.
During our dynamic four-year curriculum, residents also 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.
