Our goal is for our residents to learn to acquire and interpret focused cardiac, pulmonary, abdominal, vascular (DVT), and procedural ultrasound images.
Curriculum includes:
Didactic Lectures: We provide the residents with a small lecture on the upcoming weekly topic which includes review of anatomy, approach to image acquisition, and interpretation of common pathological findings.
Hands-on Practice:
- Biweekly hourly sessions on Fridays to practice with live models image acquisition and interpretation.
- Selected procedure-based sessions to practice common bedside procedures such as central line insertion, paracentesis, thoracentesis, peripheral IVs and knee arthrocentesis
