The document summarizes the results of the EMUGs Survey conducted in 2015 to assess emergency medicine physicians' ultrasound experience, practice, training needs, and interest in an EM ultrasound specialist group. The key findings were that 234 physicians responded from 41 hospitals, demonstrating interest in credentialing and a need for improved ultrasound education. Respondents felt a local credentialing process like UTEC could help increase ultrasound use if challenges around time, funding, and access to training were addressed.

The EMUGs Survey - 2015 Comments: Don't see the need; I'm not officially qualified to read radiographs or ECGs, but it's part of the practice of EM!! Very dubious about value of accreditation Credentialing process would need to be relevant
The EMUGs Survey - 2015 What would you like to be done to help improve EM US education and training? Lobby ACEM to make credentialing mandatory in basic modalities for trainees Affordability of courses A curriculum and trainers who deliver teaching as per curriculum We really need a credentialing program that is easy to access and fits in with work on the floor
The EMUGs Survey - 2015 Each Department needs a champion of US Formal assessment, feedback CCPU already exists work with ASUM rather than competing course Revive UTEC Scans to be uploaded on hospital imaging
The EMUGs Survey - 2015 What obstacles are there for improving EM US? How would you recommend addressing them? Time. Have half a day a month off the floor scanning Time / work pressures mean US becomes a discretional extra, rather than a core part of daily practice Money! Getting funding to train people in ED is difficult
The EMUGs Survey - 2015 ACEM Commitment Access to ultrasonographers and ECHO teachers Finding supervisor for CCPU modules Inertia, lack of vision by old guard Practice practice practice No established forum (yet)
The EMUGs Survey - 2015 Role for EMUGs? Form a collaborative peer group for EM US discussion Encourage appropriate use of EMUS Restart ED U/S credentialing Advocate for more US positions, time for training, pathway
The EMUGs Survey - 2015 Increase awareness of need to be credentialled, store images for easy reference, establish standards for image storage and access/review Work with ASUM To provide frequent low cost courses which will give us accreditation I'm not a complete luddite, but I think the role of US needs to be kept in perspective.
The EMUGs Survey - 2015 Get ACEM to recognise EMUS as a core skill and get US incorporated into ACEM exams, DOPS, OSCEs, etc.
The EMUGs Survey - 2015 Summary Education is key Credentialing is wanted and will increase quality and quantity of US use Local UTEC credentialing process will take a little more time CCPU is great for those motivated In house training similar to ECG/CXR interpretation is essential
