Pediatric Emergency Medicine Ultrasound Fellowship Programs

Sigmund Kharasch, MD; Matthew Moake, MD PhD; Antonio Riera, MD – Point of care ultrasound (POCUS) has undergone important growth in the field of Pediatric Emergency Medicine (PEM) in the last 14 years and is recognized as a critical diagnostic tool in the care of ill and injured children. The first PEM POCUS fellowship was established in 2010. Now, there are currently 30 ultrasound fellowships that offer training to PEM physicians. In 2014, 46 PEM POCUS leaders established the P2 (PEM POCUS) Network (www.P2network.org). This serves as a platform for sharing expertise, building research collaborations, and offering mentorship in the use of POCUS in PEM.
