Ultrasound (Emergency Medicine) Print This Page

The Department of Emergency Medicine at Palmetto Health Richland has been a leader in emergency ultrasound since 1997. Residents in our emergency medicine program are trained in the use of ultrasound to facilitate the diagnosis and management of a wide variety of serious and life-threatening pathologies.

The mission of the Emergency Ultrasound Fellowship is to develop highly motivated emergency physicians into future educators and researchers with expertise in the wide application of ultrasound technology to direct patient care. Working closely with the University of South Carolina School of Medicine, the curriculum not only provides fellows with the opportunity to work side-by-side with experts in emergency ultrasound, echocardiography, and vascular ultrasound, but also develop educational skills through lecturing and bed side teaching to residents, medical students, and practicing physicians. Unique to this experience is that the fellow will be an integral component to the development and function of the clinical ultrasound curriculum at the USC School of Medicine.

To achieve these goals, we offer the following:

State-of-the-art facilities
Dedicated support on the department, hospital, and university levels
Five ultrasound systems
Nationally recognized leaders in emergency ultrasound
Great compensation and benefits
Tremendous opportunities for travel with national and international exposure to other leaders in emergency ultrasound
