Emergency Ultrasound Fellowship

Our curriculum

Fellows provide an academic and administrative leadership role in the Department of Emergency Medicine, participating in weekly emergency medicine residency conferences and developing an ultrasound curriculum for emergency medicine residents.

Concurrently, our fellows hold six clinical conferences and one journal club with the emergency medicine residents throughout the academic year. They are also responsible for an original ultrasound research paper with the ultimate goal of presenting that research at a national meeting.

Salary and benefits

The goal of Atlantic Health Morristown's Emergency Ultrasound Fellowship is to introduce students to the clinical practice of emergency medicine which includes both philosophy of emergency medicine and a specific approach to acute illness and injury. By the end of the rotation, students will develop expertise in a wide spectrum of emergency and non-emergency problems, including:
