Description
This grant, administered by the Society for Academic Emergency Medicine Foundation (SAEMF), supports research proposals that evaluate the impact of point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS) on clinical practice or characterize learning curves associated with POCUS. The goal is to fill knowledge gaps regarding how POCUS affects patient outcomes and the training required to achieve competency, thereby advancing evidence-based emergency medicine. Projects may focus on specific ultrasound applications, compare emergency departments with and without POCUS, or investigate best practices and educational methods for POCUS training.
