2023 Clinical Ultrasound Fellow

​

Samuel Kotran, DO

One-year Clinical Ultrasound Fellowship (begins July 1st)

EUFAC Accredited​

Now accepting applications for the 2023 academic year!

Comprehensive & Cutting Edge Curriculum

Explores all aspects of Emergency Ultrasound including advanced ECHO (TTE & TEE), MSK ultrasound, ultrasound-guided regional anesthesia, ultrasound program administration, maintenance, credentialing, and billing. In addition, specific attention is given to educational techniques, how to provide a creative and engaging learning experience, and any specific area of interest for each fellow.

​

Our fellowship offers a unique opportunity to explore novel ways to integrate ultrasound education with web, mobile, or virtual reality, with exposure to every step of the development process. Curriculum utilizes a custom virtual reality ultrasound simulator, allowing individual or group learning for core bedside scans. The simulator supports custom case creation for sharing interesting VR cases in seconds, even while on-shift. In addition, a robust website helps keep track of curriculum readings, scanning goals, and quizzes throughout the year.
