More About Emergency Ultrasound Section
The Emergency Ultrasound Section of the American Academy of Emergency Medicine (EUS-AAEM) was founded to foster the professional development of its members and to educate them regarding point of care ultrasound. Through opportunities for publications in POCUS Report and gaining lecturing experience through the Speakers Bureau, members are invited to share their knowledge and passion for point of care ultrasound with our community and beyond. Educational opportunities ranging from Scientific Assembly didact and hands-on experiences, to the Unmute Your Probe webinar series, to live Regional Hands-On Ultrasound Course offerings support our mission to promote high-quality ultrasound education to Emergency Medicine physicians regardless of practice setting or prior ultrasound training. By fostering relationships with AAEM/RSA and fostering competitions geared toward medical students, we promote the development of future ultrasound leaders in our specialty. We hope you join us as we continue to better patient care through point of care ultrasound!
