Ultrasound
Faculty Drs. Brunswick, Chu, Kaelin, and McKinley and Resident Dr. Charles Jang recently journeyed to represent WSU EM Ultrasound at the annual Society of Clinical Ultrasound Fellowship (SCUF) conference in Ann Arbor, MI.
Hosted on the University of Michigan campus, the team advanced their knowledge and instructional techniques in point-of-care ultrasonography and made key interactions with leaders in this rapidly growing field. Updates from the ultrasound section leaders for ABEM, AAEM, ACEP, SAEM, and EUFAC were provided. Keynote addresses "Digital Scholarship" and "Health Equity in POCUS" led the ultrasound community gathering. All received focused professional development for the construction of lectures, CV, and publishable content. The fellow lightning talks inspired Dr. Jang in consideration of future projects and ultrasound research at WSU EM and beyond.
WSU EM Alumni Dr. Kaelin ('15) and Dr. McKinley ('22) were both awarded the designation Fellowship of Advanced Emergency Medicine Ultrasound (FAEMUS) through subspecialty FPD certification and longevity membership with SCUF.

We are sad to announce the passing of our friend, colleague, and mentor Dr. David F. Lim. He died Tuesday, July 18, 2023. As clinical EM faculty, he helped lead the way in the early days of our Residency Program. After being sidelined by a small stroke, he continued to teach, ultimately completing an IM residency and continuing his clinical and educator career with a thriving practice. His daughter Jennifer is a 2010 WSU EM Residency graduate. Our condolences go out to her and to all of David's family and many friends.
