The fellowship program draws upon the expertise of one of the largest emergency medicine ultrasound divisions in the country. The Department of Emergency Medicine Division of Clinical Ultrasound leads a robust training program for practicing academic and community emergency medicine physicians and pediatric emergency medicine physicians. The division has trained more than 150 physicians within the Department of Emergency Medicine. Division leaders also oversee the curriculum and integration of point of care ultrasound within IU School of Medicine and are actively building a point of care ultrasound training platform for other IU School of Medicine graduate medical education programs.

The majority of training takes place within the Emergency Department at Riley Hospital for Children at Indiana University Health (50,000 visits per year). Other clinical sites include Eskenazi Health (100,000 visits per year) and IU Health Methodist Hospital (95,000 visits per year), which serve both pediatric and adult patients.

The department also has an Emergency Ultrasound Fellowship program that takes up to two candidates each year. Both the Pediatric POCUS Fellowship and the Emergency Ultrasound Fellowship program are part of the Society of Clinical Ultrasound Fellowship and use the society's application process and the associated NRMP match as the sole method for application to the program. For more information about our program, visit the Society of Clinical Ultrasound Fellowship or e-mail Dr. Ben Nti.
