The American Institute of Ultrasound in Medicine (AIUM) said that it recognizes the American College of Emergency Physicians' (ACEP) recent policy statement on emergency ultrasound guidelines as meeting the qualifications for performing ultrasound in the emergency setting.
The ACEP guidelines describe the education and training required by emergency physicians to achieve competency for performing focused emergency ultrasound applications in clinical practice. They can be viewed at ACEP's website or AIUM's website.
AIUM said it looks forward to future collaborative efforts with ACEP on the use of ultrasound in the emergency medicine setting.
