Emergency Ultrasound Management Course

Date: Saturday, Oct. 15
Time: 8 a.m.–5 p.m.
Cost: $275

Hear from national experts with highly successful emergency ultrasound programs. New to 2016 will be interactive panel discussions. Two tracks run concurrently: Core and Advanced. Registrants of both tracks will come together at noon for lunch and breakout sessions. A reception after the course offers access to ultrasound leaders and fellow registrants. These courses are not about how to perform ultrasound exams.

Core Track: Is emergency ultrasound something that you have been able to get into your department? Are you a fellow who needs management expertise? The Core Track is designed for physicians or coordinators who are starting a new program or want some advice for improving an existing program. The core topics include the role of the director, specifics of machine purchase, and a thorough explanation of billing.

Advanced Track: This course is for ultrasound directors with existing programs who have attended the Emergency Ultrasound Management Course at least once and have an interest in expansion and maturation of their program. There is special focus on ultrasound education as well as evolving issues like international, reimbursement, credentialing, and QA. The sessions include incorporating simulation, advanced billing concepts, safety and accreditation, and running an institution-wide ultrasound program.
