ChristianaCare’s Advanced Emergency Medicine Ultrasound (AEMUS) Fellowship is accredited by the Emergency Ultrasound Fellowship Accreditation Council (EUFAC) and offers an intensive emergency ultrasound training program. Founded in 2001, our fellowship program accepts 1 to 2 ABEM certified or eligible emergency physicians per year. Fellows receive training and education specific not only in basic and advanced applications, but also in emergency ultrasound program design, QA/QI, documentation, billing and advanced educational presentation techniques. Graduation from this fellowship will allow candidates to sit for the Focus Practice Designation certification in AEMUS from the American Board of Emergency Medicine.
The ultrasound fellowship is part of a robust Emergency Point of Care Ultrasound Program that is led by a team of nationally recognized fellowship-trained FPD-AEMUS faculty.
Additionally, the Emergency Department includes several academic faculty members who are fellowship trained in ultrasound with the FPD certification in AEMUS. Our fellowship program assists in both didactic and practical training of the Emergency Medicine and Affiliated residents. Our fellowship program faculty have been national leaders in point of care ultrasound and contributed to new and cutting-edge clinical applications, education, research and national policies and standards. Our faculty has had multiple peer-reviewed publications.
The Advanced Emergency Medicine Ultrasound Fellowship at Christiana Care is but one facet of our active Emergency Medicine Ultrasound Program, but one that we are very proud of given its activities and success. We welcome any questions you may have about our program.
