POCUS for the WIN

Publish how point of care ultrasound guided management in your case!

Interested in authoring an article for POCUS FTW, a case report series within the EM Resident magazine? Our goal with POCUS FTW is to highlight cases in which the use of point of care ultrasound led to a change or advancement in the diagnosis or treatment of a patient that otherwise would not have occurred without the use of this modality.

We know that ultrasound is an integral part of your practice and that you deserve the training and resources that will enable you to utilize this powerful tool throughout your career. We also know that you face any number of challenges when it comes to ultrasound, from access to the equipment and training to skeptical faculty and work flow integration. We're here to help.

We will be advocating on behalf of you, EM residents, to make sure you have access to the best possible technology and training. We'll be providing you with valuable information about high-yield exams and novel applications of ultrasound to make you more efficient and we'll dig around for the best resources, digital and otherwise, to save you the time and frustration. This page will also keep you connected to the goings-on in world the EM Ultrasound, whether you're looking for resources and mentorship or considering fellowship.
