I am really pleased that I completed this year. This has been one of the most worthwhile learning endeavours I have taken on. I have a broader base of colleagues with whom I can discuss images and my confidence in the ER, delivery room and clinic has been vastly improved. Thank you!

One of the best learning experiences I’ve had in my career. Really enjoyed the interactive daily teaching, and the ability to acquire practical new skills over time that can change the outcome and the management of my patients in a rural setting.

The RUF was an amazing year that has boosted my ultrasound skills. It is comprehensive yet becomes uniquely tailored to your needs as a rural provider. The distributed learning model helps you tackle the year on your own schedule. I feel much more comfortable incorporating a broad array of POCUS scans into my practice.

I have to say that this fellowship is making me a better ER doc as I am challenging myself to take deeper dives into situations that involve US and more. Thanks for this!!

I have found this fellowship to be completely practice changing! I can’t imagine how I managed without it for so long. My confidence on many ER presentations in particular is greatly improved and I feel I can really change patient outcomes.
The fellowship has more than met my expectations and turned me from someone who did not utilize PoCUS in practice at all despite previous courses and attempts, to a regular user in all areas of my practice.
