The ultrasound focus is a distinctive tract in which residents can develop and hone their skills and expertise through a more focused ultrasound experience during residency. Longitudinally, throughout the focus participating residents will review and discuss current ultrasound literature with faculty and co-residents during the Ultrasound Journal Club and provide lectures for medical students and residents.

This focus is lead by our three ultrasound fellowship trained faculty and Director of Ultrasound Dr.Baranchuk, Dr.Shi, and Dr.Johnson. Our ultrasound faculty provides direct bedside and hands on teaching during ultrasound rotation and in daily clinical setting. Ultrasound images are stored and reviewed.

Residents will improve their knowledge in basic ultrasound core applications through focused scanning sessions with ultrasound faculty in order to achieve an advanced foundation in image acquisition and interpretation. As training and skill improve, second year residents with learn more advanced applications like transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) with an opportunity to perform/observe transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) under the supervision of Cardiology in the echo lab.

During their second and third years, residents will learn how to develop an ultrasound quality assurance process, and design an ultrasound-focused, quality-improvement project with the ultimate goal of publication. and perform. Residents in the program will meet with the Director of the focus on a quarterly basis to review performance and provide mentorship. Resident are encouraged to participate in the many ongoing research projects in ultrasound.
