Through formal didactic training, at least 2 full-time policy experiences, leadership development, as well as enormous real-world opportunities to apply policy and advocacy skills, the fellowship will provide a springboard for a successful career as a physician leader.
Simulation
Ultrasound
The Advanced Emergency Medicine Ultrasound Fellowship at the University of Maryland is a one-year, EUFAC-approved program designed to develop leaders and expert educators in point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS). Based at a high-volume tertiary care center, fellows gain extensive hands-on experience with a wide range of pathology, including advanced applications such as TEE during cardiac arrest and transvaginal ultrasound. The program emphasizes robust teaching opportunities across all learner levels, from medical students to practicing clinicians, while also providing exposure to system-wide POCUS leadership and administration. Fellows benefit from exceptional resources, including simulation, cadaver labs, and academic support, while maintaining clinical practice to further refine their skills.
