E-FAST Ultrasound Training Curriculum for Prehospital Emergency Medical Service (EMS) Clinicians

Clever M. Nguyen, BS*, Krista Hartmann, BS, EMT-A*, Craig Goodmurphy, PhD^ and Avram Flamm, DO, EMT-P, FACEP, FAEMS*†**

DOI: https://doi.org/10.21980/J8S060 Issue 9:1 No ratings yet.
By the end of these training activities, prehospital EMS learners will be able to demonstrate foundational ultrasound skills in scanning, interpretation, and artifact recognition by identifying pertinent organs and anatomically relevant structures for an E-FAST examination. Learners will differentiate between normal and pathologic E-FAST ultrasound images by identifying the presence of free fluid and lung sliding. Learners will also explain the clinical significance and application of detecting free fluid during an E-FAST scan.

Emergency Medicine Curriculum Utilizing the Flipped Classroom Method: Pulmonary Emergencies

Lauren D Branditz, MD*, Andrew King, MD*, Colin Kaide, MD*, Jennifer Mitzman, MD*^, Benjamin Ostro, MD*, Daniel R Martin, MD, MBA*, Nicholas Kman, MD*, David Bahner, MD*, Howard Werman, MD*, Tatiana Thema, MD* and Michael Barrie, MD*

The educational strategies used in this curriculum include small group case-based modules authored by education faculty and content experts based on the core emergency medicine content outlined in the ABEM Model EM curriculum. The Socratic method, used during small group sessions, encourages active participation; small groups also focus on the synthesis and application of knowledge through the discussion of clinical experiences. The use of free open access medical education (FOAM) resources allows learners to work at their own pace and maximize autonomy. Learners are encouraged to use such resources for preparation prior to small group sessions, and also to review and help solidify important points after the conclusion of in-person discussions.
