Advanced Emergency Ultrasound Fellowship
North Florida Emergency Medicine is proud to offer an EUFAC-accredited fellowship in Advanced Emergency Ultrasonography. The fellowship was established in 2021 and is currently training fellows for a career in focused point-of-care ultrasound within the context of emergency medicine. We strive to produce physicians who can successfully obtain their certification of Focused Practice Designation (FPD) in Clinical Ultrasonography and who will be prepared to function autonomously as ultrasound directors and skilled resident educators.
Advanced Ultrasound Training With Real-World Clinical Experience
The program offers a competitive salary and opportunities to attend conferences such as ACEP and AIUM, and you get to work in an exciting emergency department managed by a democratic group of EM physicians, Gainesville Emergency Medicine Associates (GEMA). Fellows will be trained in all standard applications of point-of-care ultrasound, transvaginal ultrasound, transesophageal echocardiography, nerve blocks, and MSK ultrasound. Emphasis will also be placed on developing leadership roles, research skills, and effective teaching of resident and student learners.
Comprehensive Fellowship Education Beyond Core Applications
Our main emergency department employs three state-of-the-art GE ultrasound machines to ensure consistent machine availability, and our fellows are provided with a personal ultrasound for use throughout the year. Dedicated ultrasound faculty provide one-on-one, hands-on scanning education on a weekly basis, regular ultrasound lectures on core content, and an ultrasound journal club to maintain a strong foundation of evidence-based knowledge.
