*Numerous international opportunities exist as well given the department's focus on global health and humanitarian medicine. Division faculty are happy to help facilitate international projects and also have specific ultrasound teaching and potential research opportunities in Rwanda, Uganda, Tanzania, Liberia, and Haiti.

*Fellows will be provided with ample opportunities to teach ultrasound - both hands-on scanning and formal lectures - locally, nationally, and internationally. Opportunities exist to create innovative educational material

All of the following are available to the fellow: attending weekly echocardiography lunch-time conferences hosted by the BWH Division of Cardiovascular Medicine, scanning sessions with sonographers in emergency radiology and the echocardiography lab, further transvaginal scanning (with both sonographers and radiologists) in the Department of Radiology.

Our fellows are expected to learn and to master the following emergency ultrasound applications: trauma, intrauterine pregnancy, AAA, cardiac/advanced echo, biliary, urinary tract, DVT, soft-tissue/musculoskeletal, thoracic, ocular, and procedural guidance.
