Clinical Decision Making in EM

Lets get it started! We are here at the Clinical Decisions course in Ponte Vedra, Florida for the bedside ultrasound skills lecture and lab. This year we have Bret Nelson from Mt. Sinai and Elke Platt from Brigham and Women's, both nationally known faculty, cool! Thanks to all our UF-Jax faculty instructors: Liz Devos, MD and Faheem Guirgis, MD and resident volunteers: Alex Mathai, Chase Ranson, Ryan McKenna, Glareth Imani, and Kevin Gysling.

Thanks guys for making this course a success!!!

SonoGames 2013

Today is the second annual Sonogames competition at SAEM and it was exciting! There were 39 teams representing residencies from all over the US, though most are from the northeast. There were some really creative names this year: "the FAST and the Furious", "Team ALARA", "the posterior acoustic enhancements" and "Sono you didn't!", just to name a few! Awards were given for most creative name and best costumes.
The first round was team didactic questions answered via audience response system. The 10 highest scoring teams moved on to the second round, which was a variety of scan stations. Some stations used phantoms, the others live models, but all were challenging (note the blindfolded guy!). The top two teams are moving on to the final.
I hope we can get a team together for next year, who's with me!?!
