6:15pm – 8:00pm

Medical students, are you ready for some competition? Get ready to put your ultrasound skills and team work to the test! In this competition, five teams will embark on a journey of five simulated patient scenarios with live patient models. Each scenario will be based on a chief complaint and you will use ultrasound to solve the case. The winners will receive free AAEM/RSA and EUS-AAEM swag as an award. Limited ultrasound skills? No problem – EUS-AAEM has you covered! Registered teams will receive how-to ultrasound videos prior to the competition. Do you think you can solve the case?
