Teaching programme

Training in focused ultrasound in CED includes a combination of internal, external and remote access learning.

For CED House Officers and Registrars we have two teaching sessions per six months as part of our Wednesday teaching sessions.

  1. Session one is a brief introduction to ultrasound, care and use of our departmental ultrasound machine, credentialing pathways for trainees, EFAST and procedural guidance.

  2. Session two is aimed at Lung, FELS and other interesting and relevant PEM applications of USS

For CED SMO’s we will also provide CME after the Tuesday SMO meeting to encourage training and credentialing in the SMO group.
