Introducing the New Sonoguide: Ultrasound Guide for EM Physicians

Understand the scope and practice of emergency ultrasound with ACEP's new and improved Sonoguide. The guide has content for the beginner as well as advanced concepts and skills for those with more ultrasound background. A great resource for US Fellowship Directors!

This resource was originally developed from an ACEP Emergency Ultrasound Section grant. The Sonoguide team would like to thank FUJIFILM Sonosite, Inc., for sponsoring the Sonoguide.
