Ultrasounds Of The Block
Welcome to SIU's EM Residency "Ultrasounds of the Block" curriculum (formerly known as "Ultrasound of the Month"). First instituted as a friendly competition to spark increased volume of bedside studies, it has now become a melee of ultrasound fun. As part of an asynchronous curriculum in emergency ultrasound, all ultrasounds performed at our clinical sites are reviewed for quality assurance by ultrasound director. Each block a few images/clips are selected because of an interesting finding, a high quality image showing great anatomy, or because they carry an important teaching point. These “Ultrasounds of the Block” are then displayed online with clinical vignettes and questions to test residents and their knowledge. The competition aspect of the curriculum is that residents gain points by performing any selected "Ultrasounds of the Block" and for answering monthly questions correctly. Each year a winner is announced based on overall points and surprised with trophy gifts to cherish and gloat about for the many years to come.
