Emergency Medicine Ultrasound

The University Hospitals Emergency Department Division of Emergency Ultrasound strives to advance the practice of high-quality diagnostic and therapeutic point-of-care ultrasound in the emergency setting.

Division members provide ultrasound education to emergency department residents, fellows, medical students, advance practice providers and attendings at UH Cleveland Medical Center as well as the community sites across the UH system. The Division oversees the longitudinal point-of-care ultrasound curriculum for the UH Emergency Medicine Residency. The Division also collaborates with and provides ultrasound didactics and hands-on education to UH colleagues across multiple specialties including critical care, pediatrics, obstetrics and gynecology, anesthesia, family medicine, and internal medicine.

The Division of Emergency Ultrasound manages the Emergency Department’s ultrasound image archiving, reporting, and quality assurance program that ensures excellence in the domain. 

The Division also operates the Advanced Emergency Medicine Ultrasonography (AEMUS) Fellowship program that is accredited by the Emergency Ultrasound Fellowship Accreditation Council (EUFAC). The fellowship is designed to provide a robust 1-year advanced training in emergency ultrasound that provides trainees with the knowledge and skills to become future leaders in the field.

Division faculty are active in regional, national, and international organizations by giving lectures, presenting abstracts, and leading teams in ultrasound competitions. The Division has six core and three adjunct fellowship-trained faculty.
