March 8, 2010:  the Emergency and Critical Care Ultrasound course returns to The Mount Sinai School of Medicine.

Mark your calendars now.   This year we expect to improve on the success of last years program and deliver lectures of the high quality you received last year to a larger audience.

Stay tuned!

In the evaluation and treatment of acute illness, seconds count. Focused bedside ultrasound has gained widespread use in emergency and critical care settings as an adjunct to physical examination and to aid in the performance of bedside procedures.

This course was designed with a critical care approach in mind, focusing on the utility of ultrasound in the evaluation of:

• Airway, Breathing and Circulation
• Disability
• Procedure Guidance

The Emergency Ultrasound Fellowship at the Mount Sinai School of Medicine is built upon a foundation of clinical excellence, cutting-edge research, administrative experience, and education.

We are pleased to offer a wide array of experiences to maximize the learning environment and expose the fellow to meaningful clinical and research opportunities.

All right, this is only indirectly ultrasound – but Haru Okuda and Bret Nelson have published this great new book:
Emergency Medicine Oral Board Review Illustrated (Cambridge Clinical Guides)

The book features more than 100 cases derived from the Model of Clinical Practice of Emergency Medicine, with an emphasis on EKGs, CT scans, x-rays, and ultrasounds.

There are chapters on approaching the oral board examination, pediatric pearls and pitfalls, common ED presentations and their management, procedure guidance, and hundreds of images to review.
