The UC Irvine Emergency Medicine ultrasound division does more than teach scanning. We help departments and hospitals build point-of-care ultrasound programs that hold up day to day: credentialing, image archiving, quality assurance, billing, and training.
Services
• Teaching and workshops: hands-on POCUS courses and workshops for medical students, residents, fellows, advanced practice providers, and faculty, including our monthly Vendor Spotlight series.
• Quality assurance: QA program design, image review workflows, and tele-ultrasound quality assurance for outside departments and hospitals.
• Workflow and infrastructure consulting: machine selection, image archiving and middleware, documentation and reporting setup, and credentialing pathways. We will help you build your institutional POCUS workflow from the ground up.
• Billing and program finance: coding, billing workflow, and the business case for a POCUS program.
• Sabbatical fellowship and group training: see our Sabbatical Fellowship and Training for Groups pages for details.
• Ultrasound-guided regional anesthesia workshops: hands-on nerve block training for emergency and acute care teams.
• Advanced practice provider and nursing training: POCUS courses built for APP and nursing groups, including programs for hospitals standing up APP ultrasound services.
• Device innovation and training partnerships: we evaluate new ultrasound systems and build training around them. Device teams and vendors can partner with the division on evaluation and education.
• Invited workshops and talks: division faculty are available for invited workshops, courses, and talks at other institutions.
• Vendor meetings and product selection: we can set up vendor meetings and demos and help you find the product that fits your program, drawing on our connections across the ultrasound industry.
International and Global Health Ultrasound
We are developing international partnerships for ultrasound education and program support, and we have worked with donors on past global health projects. If your group shares an interest in global health ultrasound, we would like to work together. Details to be announced, so ask us about our future international work.
