Ultrasound Physician Fellowship - Emergency Medicine

Job Description

Job Description

Our organization is actively looking for a Board Eligible/Board Certified Emergency Medicine Physician to join our fellowship program within the Department of Emergency Medicine. We are excited to introduce a one-year Advanced Emergency Medicine Ultrasound Fellowship, which maintains its accreditation through the Emergency Ultrasound Fellowship Accreditation Council (EUFAC).

The ultrasound curriculum is designed to equip fellows with expertise in clinical ultrasound practice, research, education, and management, providing dedicated time for hands-on clinical ultrasound experience. In addition to mastering core ultrasound modalities, fellows will have the chance to conduct transesophageal echocardiograms (TEE) with specialized training in the operating room (OR), emergency department (ED), and through simulation. A significant emphasis on regional anesthesia will enhance fellows' skills in ultrasound-guided nerve blocks. Participants will engage in extensive national and international research registries and take part in active clinical trials. Preparation for the ABEM focused practice designation in advanced ultrasound is also included. Fellows will experience a variety of scanning environments, including adult and pediatric emergency departments, medical intensive care units, urgent care, and ORs, to learn practical ultrasound applications that address critical clinical questions. Mentorship from experienced medical educators will support your transition from fellow to faculty. Additionally, fellows will have access to a medical education incubator lab, allowing them to create training models for teaching ultrasound practices. The integration of ultrasound in medical education is woven throughout both the medical school and residency curricula. Administrative experience is also part of the fellowship, where fellows will learn the essentials of quality improvement for ultrasound, as well as the processes involved in image archiving, billing, and coding through active participation in ultrasound quality assurance for the ED. Opportunities for global health involvement are available for fellows as well.

Compensation & Benefits

The starting base salary ranges from $203,000 to $213,000, excluding variable compensation or additional productivity incentives, and is subject to the department's compensation plan. Further details regarding compensation will be discussed with candidates during the recruitment process.

Our benefits package includes:
