Are you interested in getting emergency ultrasound into your department, but having trouble getting it started? The solution is the ACEP Emergency Ultrasound Management Course. If you have a physician that is your ultrasound director or coordinator, this is the perfect course to get your program up and running.
This course is presented by national experts who have been successful in implementing emergency ultrasound programs, and includes topics ranging from the role of the director, to specifics of machine purchase, and a very thorough explanation of billing. As a new feature, we will have small breakout sessions with our experts to answer the questions and challenges you may face at your institutions.
As an added bonus, this course will provide 6.75 AMA PRA Category I credit™ and ACEP Category I credit, along with a well-written syllabus of the lectures for reference.
Due to the popularity of this course, it is now closed to new registrants.
