Emergency Ultrasound Fellowship

Founded in 2019 by Drs. Penelope Lema and Di Coneybeare, the Emergency Ultrasound Fellowship at NewYork-Presbyterian/Columbia University is a 5-year EUFAC-accredited program dedicated to developing highly skilled leaders in point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS). Our core mission is to provide our fellows with a robust mentorship network that enables them to innovate and lead in the larger ultrasound community. The breadth of our pathology in the adult clinical sites provides comprehensive hands-on scanning experience, further enriched by the partnership with our pediatric emergency ultrasound colleagues who pioneered one of the country’s first pediatric-specific point-of-care ultrasound fellowship. 

We provide opportunities for any fellow to explore their advancement in ultrasound administration, clinical integration, education, and research scholarship. Our curriculum will lay foundation for our fellows to become successful in any endeavor with the opportunity to focus on a particular area of interest. Our fellowship is based at the New York Presbyterian Columbia with newly renovated Emergency Department in a state-of-the-art facility at the Columbia University Irving Medical Center (CUIMC) and Allen Hospital. In addition to our robust general Emergency Medicine clinical sites, we also work closely with the Morgan Stanley Children’s Hospital of New York (MSCHONY), a Level 1 Pediatric Trauma Center.  

Curriculum: 

Our fellowship is thoughtfully designed as a spiral curriculum, where fellows build a solid foundation in emergency ultrasound and progressively develop advanced skills. The core pillars of our program encompass ultrasound expertise, administration, scholarship, and education. We are especially proud of our dedication to personalized mentorship, allowing each fellow to pursue their unique professional aspirations.
