UF–Jacksonville EM Clerkship
Medical Students
Welcome to the EM Ultrasound Scan Session! We want you to leave this rotation comfortable putting a probe on a patient — here's everything you need before, during, and after our hands-on session.
It's as easy as 1-2-3
Scan with us
Attend the hands-on session in the Simulation Center: E-FAST plus an introduction to ultrasound-guided nerve blocks and needling skills.
Scan in the ED
Put it to work on shift. Log your scans using your student number from your UF badge as your identifier (student 1 = MS01). Ask us for a list of your scans at the end of the rotation.
Before our session
Step 1: Take the pre-course survey
It tells us a little about you and lets us track the scans you perform or take part in during your clerkship. Be sure to include the student number from your UF badge.
Open the pre-course surveyStep 2: Watch these before you arrive
So we're all on the same page and can spend our time together with a probe in your hand.
Step 3: Get set up in Q-Path
Q-Path is our ultrasound image storage and quality system — it's where you can view and track the scans you perform during your shifts. Your account is activated after the hands-on session.
Q-Path login guideYour scan session
We hold a hands-on ultrasound scan session during each clerkship block — your session date and time come by email at the start of your rotation.
Where to meet: the EM offices 15 minutes before the session — we'll walk over to the Simulation Center together (it's easy to get lost!).
What we'll cover: hands-on E-FAST, plus an introduction to ultrasound-guided nerve blocks and needling skills.
