Ultrasonography training and utilization in surgical critical care fellowships: a program director's survey

Utilization and training of IPUS is common in SCC fellowships. There is varied education type and training time devoted to IPUS which could lead to gaps in knowledge and care. Development of a standard curriculum for SCC fellowships could assist surgical intensivists in achieving a base of knowledge in IPUS to create a more homogenously trained workforce and standards of care.
