Emergency ultrasound fellows have the opportunity to train under several ultrasound fellowship trained faculty members and our ultrasound technician and educator. The Emergency Department has very collaborative and supportive relationships with the Division of Emergency Radiology and the Division of Cardiovascular Medicine. The Emergency Department is also home to STRATUS, a leading comprehensive medical simulation training center with ultrasound simulation capabilities. The Division of International Health and Humanitarian Programs, which operates international research and strategic initiatives, offers two international EM fellowships, and is involved in international applications of diagnostic ultrasound. We also continue to have a very collaborative relationship with Massachusetts General Hospital Emergency Ultrasound group. We continue to collaborate in education and research across both institutions.
