Being an effective leader ultimately leads to being a successful clinical Ultrasound (US) director.
Unfortunately, we don’t get taught how to do this during residency or fellowship.

Why They Love Teaching Nerve Blocks
Once you see the benefits of complete pain relief in serious traumatic injuries first-hand, you realize what an impact this skill can have on the care we are able to provide in the ED.
Bringing multimodal pain management strategies to acute care, this is the future of Emergency Medicine practice!
🚨 Only 10 days left to save $200 on The Block Course – a hands-on, one-day regional anesthesia course for EM & acute care docs.
Join us at Stone Brewery in San Diego, Aug 7th or 8th, 2025!

Stay current in Emergency Medicine! 🚨
ACGME has proposed significant changes to Emergency Medicine residency training. Notably, there's a new emphasis on regional anesthesia, requiring residents to now perform a minimum number of nerve block procedures during their training.
