We are an Emergency Ultrasound Fellowship Accreditation Council-accredited fellowship. Clinical Education All fellows complete 72 hours of clinical duties in the Emergency Department, including evaluating, treating and managing patients in our Level 1 Trauma Center. Fellows can work shifts without resident physicians but will primarily supervise residents while working clinically. Additionally, fellows have the opportunity to work clinically on Catalina Island at our critical access Emergency Department. Didactics Fellows will present lectures and didactics at multiple ultrasound conferences across the country throughout the fellowship year. They also have the opportunity to teach ultrasound to medical students and residents at monthly training sessions held in our state-of-the-art simulation center. Additionally, fellows will teach ultrasound to medical students during Clinical Foundations sessions at the medical school. Clinical Research All fellows become immersed in clinical research during their fellowship year. We have between 15 and 25 active ED ultrasound research projects at all times. Each fellow is required to launch a new research project during their fellowship. On average, each fellow publishes three or four manuscripts per year and presents research projects at national and international conferences during this time. Billing and Documentation By the end of the program, fellows are expected to have become experts on the billing and documentation of ultrasound in the emergency department. Our department has been archiving, documenting and billing for point-of-care ultrasound for over 15 years. We are constantly updating our procedure templates and creating new ones for new applications. Salary and Benefits The salary for ultrasound fellows is $95,000 per year for 72 hours per month of clinical duties. Additionally, there is a $2,000 educational stipend that may be used for travel to conferences or equipment purchases. All fellows are required to scan 1,000 patients for successful completion of fellowship.
