Focused transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) is now recommended during cardiac arrest in the emergency department. TEE training has not been traditional present during emergency medicine training thus a comprehensive implementation approach is necessary to address the barriers and promote the facilitators towards this application. Targeted training is necessary to maximize learning retention and decrease skill decay.  Pragmatic application of an integrated approach for TEE training including simulation could facilitate acquisition of skills and knowledge.
