Prisma Health - Upstate (Greenville)
Resident Education Experience
Is there a dedicated US month?
Yes - all emergency medicine residents (10 per PGY class) complete a dedicated emergency ultrasound block during their intern year as well as ultrasound rotations during their PGY2 and PGY3 years. These rotations are comprised of hands-on scan shifts in the ED (some with US faculty and some self-directed), an US curriculum, medical school educational experiences, and US journal club.
Is there an US elective?
Yes - senior emergency medicine residents have the opportunity to complete an advanced emergency ultrasound elective, beyond their intern emergency ultrasound block, if they choose to do so.
