Emergency Ultrasound PGY3 Rotation

Senior Resident Ultrasound Rotation – The Rotation will focus on advanced ultrasound skills and improving workflow to integrate POCUS efficiently into a busy clinical practice
- The PGY3 Ultrasound experience takes place during the Block when residents are working clinically on the North Campus.
  - Every Wednesday and Thursday afternoon of the month, residents are expected to be present in the Clinical Center ED, actively scanning patients with the Ultrasound Division Faculty or supervising junior residents performing scans
    - Minimum requirements for views obtained are outlined here.
  - Wednesday a.m. is reserved for QA with Ultrasound Division Faculty; Thursday a.m. conference attendance remains mandatory.
  - ACEP Quiz completion and USGPIV credentialing must be completed if not previously done so.
  - Didactic curriculum not completed during the prior two ultrasound rotations must be completed.
Q-Path – Participants are required to log into the image storage/QA system to view and curate their scans and submit them for QA. Please review how to do so below.

SonoSim: Simulated Ultrasound Trainer
- During your US rotation, you will be expected to complete the training modules available in the CSESaR Sim Center on the SonoSim laptop. Your completion and scores will be part of your rotation evaluation.
- The assigned modules will likely take a whole afternoon, and there is only one laptop console. Please contact the SimCenter (Elizabeth.catoe@jax.ufl.edu or Joel.hart@jax.ufl.edu) one week prior to your US Block to schedule your time to complete the learning modules so there is no overlap with other learners. Your loginid and password will be emailed to you by the SonoSim system.
