The Division of Emergency Ultrasound offers an amazing opportunity for medical students and residents to rotate with us in our emergency department at the UMass Memorial Medical Center. We offer 4-week rotations that let you be a part of our busy emergency medicine ultrasound team! We welcome medical students and residents from UMass and other institutions. We have an amazing division that is at the forefront of Point of Care Ultrasound (POCUS) education and research and well known regionally and nationally.
The 4-week rotation gives you a chance to rotate in our busy tertiary care Emergency Department and get hands on experience with POCUS. You will rotate alongside emergency medicine residents, ultrasound fellows and the divisional faculty.
Along with hands on scanning, you will get didactics weekly from the fellows and divisional faculty. You will also get one on one hands on teaching from the Ultrasound fellows.
