Our Team

The ACEP Emergency Ultrasound Section Pediatric Subcommittee is a group who have come together through discussions of how to share PEM POCUS with our colleagues and make this knowledge more accessible.  Our current board and prior contributing members have included both large academic institutions and smaller community hospitals across the country.

Free ACEP Created Resources

The ACEP Emergency Ultrasound Section Pediatric Subcommittee is working to create free resources for our members who are interested in expanding their pediatric POCUS skillset. Included here you can find pediatric-specific pocket reference cards for high-yield pediatric POCUS topics along with a collation of the pediatric section’s quarterly newsletter articles, which include a number of more in-depth discussions of pediatric POCUS topics.

Instructions on how to join live PEPEC presentations are also provided.

A repository of free pediatric POCUS resources including the P2Share Curriculum, a large library of organized YouTube® lecture content (including some lectures in French and Hebrew), key POCUS policy literature, and information on how to join their weekly virtual educational rounds that feature a POCUS lecture by SickKids faculty, POCUS fellows, and invited outside speakers as well as a weekly journal club.

Ultrasound G.E.L (Gathering Evidence from the Literature) Jr.

PEM POCUS Literature

The ACEP Emergency Ultrasound Section Pediatric Subcommittee is continually working to collate important publications related to PEM POCUS policy, education, research, and high-yield clinical applications.
