Our Fellowship
We currently offer year long fellowships for EM and IM residency graduates. Additionally, we offer a mini-fellowship for any physician interested in advancing POCUS skills. Our fellows will not only master ultrasound image acquisition and interpretation, but will also learn the core components of ultrasound administration, research, education and clinical excellence. Additionally, we encourage each fellow to begin molding a unique career path. Our past fellows have explored opportunities in administration, critical care, global health, medical education, health design, simulation and leadership. Jefferson has a rich and diverse faculty (including numerous faculty with POCUS training) capable of mentoring in many different interests and specialties.

Residents
Thomas Jefferson University EM-1 residents rotate with us to learn core and advanced ultrasound modalities. Many EM-3s also do an optional elective rotation. Our residents love POCUS and each year we take a team to Sonogames at SAEM!
Philly UltraFest
Ultrafest was founded by our POCUS Division in collaboration with Sidney Kimmel Medical College in 2014. It is a one-day, immersive, ultrasound experience designed to introduce students to the world of point-of-care ultrasound. Over the years it has introduced POCUS to thousands of medical students and has spread to other Philadelphia medical schools.
