Established in 2023, the internal medicine track of the fellowship provides formalized ultrasound training for candidates who have completed residency in specialties other than emergency medicine.  You will train alongside your EM colleagues during this one year fellowship in which you work part-time in the division of hospital medicine as a hospitalist and spend the remainder of the year building confidence in performing and teaching ultrasound. The ultrasound activities are essentially the same as those of EM track fellows, including scanning in the emergency department and within hospital medicine, participating in ultrasound division weekly image review, and conducting a research project from start to finish to gain research experience as this is a critical skill to help POCUS advance in non-EM specialties. As part of the fellowship, you will gain skills in teaching at various learner levels including, medical students, residents (both in emergency and internal medicine), fellows (from additional subspecialties, i.e. nephrology) and even attendings. And last but not least, traveling to various conferences to network and see how the world of POCUS is rapidly changing. 

The demand for ultrasound education in internal medicine residency and subspecialty fellowship training is growing rapidly.  Graduates of the IM track are ideally positioned to become leaders in bedside ultrasound education and research within academic internal medicine. Not to mention, as hospital medicine positions become more and more competitive, POCUS training will give you a competitive advantage when applying for academic positions.
