An Ultrasound Revolution:
The Impact on Emergency Care
Session Overview
Emergency care is becoming critical to our population and ultrasound has become a terrific tool to improve quality and patient safety. Dr. John Christian Fox is a Professor of Clinical Emergency Medicine and Chairman of the Department of Emergency Medicine at UCI School of Medicine. He is the director of ultrasound in medical education and dedicated to promulgate point-of-care through research, teaching, leadership and clinical expertise. It offers new value during the current Coronavirus Crisis, especially in emergency care. Dr. Fox developed and published a unique four-year integrated point-of-care ultrasound curriculum for UCI medical students, making UCI the second medical school in the United States to integrate ultrasound into medical education. The curriculum he developed has been emulated and repurposed at over thirty medical schools throughout the nation.
A reactor panel of leaders will help reinforce the message.
We offer these online webinars at no cost to our participants.
