AB The  Emergency  Physician  (EP)  has  performed  bedside  ultrasound  (US)  for  more  than  three  decades.  US  is  ubiquitous  today  in  Emergency  Medicine  (EM).  Each  year,  new  EPs  learn  the  skill,  fresh  evidence  is  brought  to  light  supporting  the  practice,  and  novel  indications  are  explored.1  Technological  advances  have  delivered  smaller  machines  with  improved  image  quality  that  are  less  expensive  than  ever  before.  US  training  is  an  important  component  of  an  EM  residency  program  and  a  required  core  competency  procedure  of  the  Accreditation  Council  for  Graduate  Medical  Education  Residency  Review  Committee.2  It  is  tested  on  board  examinations  and  is  endorsed  by  EM  societies.1,3  There  are  numerous  opportunities  for  supplementary  training  in  emergency  US  ranging  from  local  courses  to  established  fellowship  training  programs.
