Welcome back to EMIGcast.

In this episode we sit down with Dr. Megan Mickley, a pediatric emergency medicine physician at OHSU and the Director of the Pediatric Emergency Ultrasound program, to discuss pediatric ultrasound. We discuss Dr. Mickley’s approach to using ultrasound in her practice and explore the differences between adult and pediatric ultrasound. We also consider together how to best learn pediatric ultrasound and how this will extend into our future careers as emergency medicine physicians. We hope you enjoy!

Bonus points to the students that identify the pathology in title ultrasound image and below (scroll down for the answer).
