    ULTRASOUND CORE FACULTY

Meet our Ultrasound Fellow,
Kyle Hill

I am the US fellow as well as a clinical faculty/attending. My job is to make you an ultrasound Jedi! You will work with me clinically as an attending, as well as doing ultrasound dedicated shifts during intern year. I also help run the advanced ultrasound elective that can be taken during PGY2/3. I am happy to meet with students/residents to practice scanning anytime that our schedules align.

One of my main goals this year is to get the TEE program running in the ED. We also will be holding ultrasound specific journal clubs, retreats, and QI sessions. I love St. Joes, I am so excited to be a part of the ultrasound program and have fun while teaching and learning!

MS3 Longitudinal Ultrasound Elective

This is an integrated US curriculum for our Touro medical students assigned to St. Joseph’s on clerkships while in the 3rd year throughout rotations in the hospital.

Participants engage in didactic lectures, journal club sessions, hands-on training, teaching and patient-modeling activities, and complete a final project.

A multimodal instructional assessment approach ensures that ultrasound training yields experience with cognitive, behavioral, and constructive learning components. 

The third medical student program predominately address ultrasound image interpretation compared with a focus on ultrasound acquisition within first- and second-year programs. Graduated experience in focused ultrasound allows the third-year medical student to perform focused ultrasonography under faculty supervision during clinical rotations across a 10- month Block schedule.
