Is finally here, see you this Monday.  We have a great program put together with lectures by great speakers on topics you need to hear.  The morning of interactive lectures is followed by an afternoon of hands on practice on live models.  Some quick links:   Introduction Faculty Schedule

Bret Nelson returned to Singapore this month to join the faculty for a WINFOCUS introductory ultrasound course. Over fifty registrants from all over Singapore were in attendance, representing emergency medicine, critical care, surgery, internal medicine, anesthesia, and nephrology. Many thanks to Dr. Francis Lee, course director as well as Dr. Toh Hong Chuen who organized many of the course logistics.

Always well received, our annual ED critical care conference is not to be missed if you are in the area.  Hope to see you there.

We are very pleased to announce that Dr. Jim Tsung has joined the Mount Sinai faculty and ultrasound division!

Dr. Tsung is a recognized leader in pediatric emergency ultrasound. He has lectured and given workshops on point-of-care pediatric ultrasound nationally and internationally. He has authored several papers on point-of-care ultrasound use during pediatric resucitation and other ultrasound topics related to pediatric emergency care.

He is a former co-investigator for the Pediatric Emergency Care Applied Research Network (PECARN) on studies related to bronchiolitis, head trauma and health disparities. He has served as the inaugural chair of the Pediatric Committee of the ACEP Ultrasound Section and led the first ever point-of-care ultrasound workshop at the Pediatric Academic Societies annual meeting. He is also the chair of the Pediatric Committee for WINFOCUS and Section Editor for the newly created Critical Ultrasound Journal on point-of-care ultrasound.

Each fall, the Massachusetts General Hospital Emergency Department hosts their annual Bedside Ultrasound CME course. Mount Sinai’s own Bret Nelson joined an international faculty for this year’s offering.

Instructors from Boston, New York, Saudi Arabia, Spain, and Thailand covered emergency and critical care topics for the two-day course. The course is directed by Vicki Noble, MD, RDMS.
