We heavily encourage fellows to grow academically in the field of Emergency Medicine.

We are a tight knit group who are eager to help each other advance in their careers and personal lives.  We aim to cultivate a fun and energetic environment that will aspire fellows to excellence.  To this end, the section participates in ultrasound courses, attending skill sessions, and the occasional regional conference.  We also have periodic group outings and the yearly Section Dinner at Chateau Theodoro.


Journals:

Scan journals for emerging EM ultrasound applications. We encourage the fellows to scan the monthly abstracts to Academic Emergency Medicine (AEM), Annals of Emergency Medicine, Journal of Ultrasound in Medicine, Critical Care Medicine, and Emergency Medicine Journal. Free access to all of these is offered through the Becker Library at WUSM.


Online resources

These websites include:

sonoguide.comsonoworld.comEmergency Ultrasound Podcast.
The ultrasoundpodcast.com provides 2 FREE ibooks that will form the basis of the readings and curriculum. Fellows should consider obtaining an RSS reader for quick perusal of topics. We also encourage the fellows to follow several FOAMeD web sites such as LITFL and ALiEM.


EM US Section Library

Dr. Shipley has a library worth of ultrasound textbooks and we will ask fellows to review specific chapters by topic each month.


Simulation assets
