A goal for a minimum number of ultrasound scans will be 25 per application including, eFAST, thoracic, renal, RUQ, aorta, limited ECHO and IVC, first trimester pelvic, DVT, orbital, MSK. Other advanced ultrasound applications will potentially be introduced (airway, bladder, nerve blocks). Students will obtain US images in the Stanford Emergency Department and will have imaging formally reviewed by a US fellowship trained emergency medicine faculty member. Images will be obtained during scan shifts during which students will scan appropriate patients and review images with the faculty member onsite and independently. Students will attend Bedside US didactics offered by an US EM faculty member every Thursday morning, followed by quality assessment (QA) review of Ultrasound scans performed in the ED. Students will have access and be expected to participate in online and computer-based learning that will be provided for them as well. This clerkship requires prior approval by Clerkship Director.
