PGY3 Advanced Ultrasound 
Assignments

Micro-Teaching

At the end of your week, you will present a 5-minute “Micro-Teaching.”  The goal of this teaching is to add to your teaching toolbox so that when you have downtime as a senior resident you can have this one ready to go.  The teaching should not exceed 5 minutes and can be on any topic that is ultrasound related.  You are only allowed to present it with an ultrasound machine, no additional white board, paper or AV support.  Focus on a few key (no more than 3) take homes to make it as impactful as possible.

 

On the Friday of the rotation we will present them internally to the rotators then go out to the Department and give them to at least one of the zones with residents as time permits.

Previous examples of microteachings include - mitral inflow velocity variation, 5 steps for Cardiac Arrest, shoulder evaluation (dislocations), thyroid/upper airway anatomy, ultrasound guided LP, tricks for placing ultrasound guided IV, the Easy IJ, Ultrasound Evaluation of Tamponade, Ultrasound confirmation of endotracheal intubation, and Ultrasound for pulse check in cardiac arrest

Journal Club

On Friday of the rotation we will also do a journal club on an ultrasound topic of your choosing.  You will be expected to distribute the article by Tuesday night of your rotation so that there is ample time for everyone to review the article.
