The Advanced Emergency Medicine Ultrasonography (AEMUS) Fellowship Program at the U-M Medical School Department of Emergency Medicine offers fellows a robust training experience that will provide the necessary knowledge and skills to become an ultrasound educator and administrator within an academic or community emergency department.
Graduates from the program will become talented ultrasonographers, but will also gain significant exposure to ultrasound research, education, and administration. Our goal is to create future leaders within the clinical ultrasound community through extensive involvement in the institutional, regional, and national level.
We accomplish this through rigorous training in an academic program that utilizes the resources of a nationally recognized university hospital. Fellows will be able to tap into the vast opportunities and resources available to members of the U-M Medical School faculty. As a growing section within a strong academic Department of Emergency Medicine, the Clinical Ultrasound faculty are dedicated to fellow education and mentorship and providing a top-tier fellowship experience.
The fellowship program earned initial Emergency Ultrasonography Fellowship Accreditation Council (EUFAC) accreditation in April 2021 and was reaccredited in February 2024.
PEM-POCUS
Separately, we are also delighted to offer ultrasound fellowship training opportunities for those with a background in Pediatrics/Pediatric Emergency Medicine. In conjunction with our PEM fellowship leadership, we are able to offer a combined PEM/PEM-POCUS fellowship training opportunity. Please reach out directly to our PEM-POCUS fellowship director, Dr. Nicole Klekowski, if you are interested in learning more.
We accept graduates from both three and four year EM residency programs.
The U-M Medical School Clinical Ultrasound Fellowship is a part of eusfellowships.com. and participates in the NRMP Emergency Medicine Match as detailed on that site. We do not accept applications outside of this process.
A decision to select an applicant for an interview will be made only after review of all required materials:
- Three (3) letters of recommendation (including one from your current Program Director)
- A Current CV
- A Letter of Intent
Thank you for your interest in our program. We look forward to hearing from you soon!
Application deadline is October 1, 2024. Interview Dates are available within September, October, and early November and will be offered on a first come basis.
Current fellows are training to become future leaders in emergency medicine. We emphasize teamwork, excellence, and leadership while preparing our fellows with resources to be successful in their careers.
The U-M Medical School AEMUS Fellowship values diversity, equity, and inclusiveness. Our goal is to recruit physicians from diverse backgrounds regardless of their race, gender and gender identity, sexual orientation, religious beliefs, disability, socioeconomic status, and other characteristics. Fellows from diverse backgrounds, as well as those who value equity and inclusiveness, better represent the community they serve and strengthen the fellowship program, department of emergency medicine, and society overall.
