T
he Emegency Ultrasound Section (EUS) leadership and members hada wonderful conference at SA24 in Austin, TX, this spring, and we have lots to report back on all our projects: y First, we would like to thank our 2023-2024 Council and welcome new Council members!1 y We had a variety of fun events at SA, including our successful Sono Sleuthing medical student competition led by our incoming Section Chair Dr. Alexis Salerno, MD FAAEM, our free open Hands-On Practice Session, our “Choose your Own Adventure” RSA Workshop, and multiple Small Group Clinics. The Section also commends the Ultrasound Pre-Conference team on yet another wonderful year for their courses! y Our Secretary/Finance Chair Dr. Shawn Sethi, DO FAAEM, gave an excellent review of the Rapid Ultrasound for Shock and Hypotension (RUSH) protocol during the “Eight Docs Walk into a Shift Show” case presentation with speakers from all eight of AAEM’s sections. y Our Section Meeting Meet & Greet had quite a turnout, and the EUS social event downtown as well as the engagEM social networking event were both a blast! Can’t wait to get these eager new members involved! y There were over 40 poster submissions related to ultrasound, and your judges are hard at work deliberating who will win the top prizes! Winners will be announced in the coming weeks. y And there were multiple breve dulce and track talks related to ultrasound and/or presented by our EUS members! Key EUS Member Benefits
