Harvard EUS Fellowship at Mass General Brigham

The Harvard Emergency Ultrasound (HEUS) Fellowship program at Mass General Brigham arose from the merger of Massachusetts General Hospital and Brigham and Women’s Hospital Emergency Ultrasound Fellowships in 2021. Both hospitals are very well resourced and between these two major academic hospitals you can expect to care for sick, complex and unique patients while working alongside intelligent colleagues. You will become a leader in clinical ultrasound integration, teaching, and research.
