Emergency Ultrasound Fellowship

The Emergency Ultrasound Fellowship Program at Christiana Care Health System received full Graduate Medical Education Committee approval in 2001. Our fellowship program accepts three ABEM/AOBEM certified or eligible emergency physician per year. Fellows receive training and education specific not only to basic and advanced applications, but also in emergency ultrasound program design, QA/QI, documentation, billing, and advanced educational presentation techniques.

The ultrasound fellowship and program is led by Program Director Jason Nomura, M.D., RDMS, and Associate Director Paul Sierzenski, M.D., RDMS. Dr. Sierzenski has chaired the ACEP and SAEM Ultrasound Sections. Both Dr. Sierzenski and Dr. Nomura have lectured nationally on Emergency Ultrasound with multiple publications in peer reviewed journals.

Our fellowship assists in both didactic and practical training of residents for the over 5,000 yearly ED ultrasounds that we now perform. The fellowship and our faculty have contributed to EM US research and pioneered many ED US applications such as advanced procedural ultrasound, advanced cardiac evaluations, aortic dissection identification, vascular, tendon, and ocular ultrasounds.

The Emergency Ultrasound Fellowship at Christiana Care is but one facet of our active EM Ultrasound Program, but one that we are very proud of given its activities and success. We welcome any questions you may have about our program.
