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 (US) curriculum is designed to equip fellows with expertise in clinical ultrasound practice, research, teaching, and management, providing dedicated time for hands-on clinical ultrasound experience. In addition to core ultrasound modalities, fellows will have the chance to perform 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 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 the OR, allowing them to learn practical ultrasound applications that address critical clinical questions. Mentorship from experienced medical educators will support your transition from fellow to faculty member.

Additionally, fellows will have access to a medical education incubator lab, where they can create training models for teaching ultrasound practices. The integration of ultrasound in medical education is woven throughout the medical school and residency programs. Administrative experience is also part of the curriculum, where fellows will learn the essentials of quality improvement for ultrasound, as well as the fundamentals of image archiving, billing, and coding through active involvement in ultrasound quality assurance for the ED. Opportunities for global health participation are available for fellows as well.

Compensation & Benefits

The starting base salary ranges from $203,000 to $213,000. This figure does not include 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:

• Generous retirement contributions
• Comprehensive medical and dental coverage
• Competitive vacation and sick leave
• Continuing Medical Education (CME) days and funding
• Paid malpractice insurance
• Paid life insurance
• Loan repayment options for state and federal programs (if eligible)
