Advanced Emergency Medicine Ultrasonography
Pushing the boundary of cutting edge ultrasound
Advanced Emergency Medicine Ultrasonography (AEMUS) is clinician-performed, bedside ultrasound or point-of-care ultrasound performed by emergency physicians. These ultrasounds are incorporated into clinical care during emergency care and focus on critical conditions or procedures. Fellowships in AEMUS train providers in the latest ultrasound techniques. AEMUS fellowships are not ACGME-accredited fellowships, but accredited through EUFAC. ACGME-accredited fellowships in Emergency Medicine include Addiction Medicine, Clinical Informatics, Emergency Medical Services, Medical Toxicology, Pediatric Emergency Medicine, Sports Medicine, and Undersea and Hyperbaric Medicine.
