[VCU Ultrasound @ultrasound_vcu]

Check out our badass fellows @MEDwardsintheED @CoreySMoore making us proud preparing our residents @VCUEM for #AEUS #SonoGames24 with gamifying their education!

Turns out, I opted for two more years of school with @ultrasound_vcu 🦴

Our @vcuem residents get a first look at the NEW Children’s Hospital of Richmond (CHoR)!

[Melissa Edwards @MEDwardsintheED]

In a pretty unconventional year, we cannot wait to welcome you to the best speciality in the best city at the best program! It was an honor to have helped recruit this crew 🤙🏻

[Dr. H @HickamMd]

I love EM and I love working at VCU— if I didn’t, I wouldn’t have chosen to stay on after training. This #MATCH2023 was definitely a new experience for me personally, even with 4 previous application cycles under my belt.

[Dr. H @HickamMd]

Today’s EMRA EM Resident Appreciation Day! I love what I do because of the thoughtful, kind, incredibly intelligent colleagues that I get to work with! Donut what I would do without them! (pictured are what was leftover… residents are a hungry group— forgot a before picture!)

[Melissa Edwards @MEDwardsintheED]

@mshllhmd Can tell you that we are @VCUEM :)

[Melissa Edwards @MEDwardsintheED]

Congrats to @StephDeMasi and the @ultrasound_vcu crew for their latest work in Academic Emergency Medicine! POCUS 1st for PTX! https://t.co/HohmWkY31v

Don’t be fooled by a CT. Don’t rely on the US. Awesome thread:

[Zaven Sargsyan @sargsyanz]

Ultrasound: “no evidence of cholecystitis”

Op report: “gangrenous cholecystitis with extremely friable tissue. Purulent drainage with manipulation of gallbladder.”

I've seen this many times.

Multidisciplinary Simulation Day during our resident conference!

One of the best things about VCU’s ED is the emphasis on team work and that every member’s role is essential. Love that we can get together to practice these skills as a team! @VCUEM #meded #vcuemresidency

[Melissa Edwards @MEDwardsintheED]

Always a basal rate! 🙋🏼‍♀️

[John Shields, MD, FAAOS @jointdocShields]

If you had these on your ceiling growing up - remember to take your H2 blocker and ibuprofen before leaving the house this morning

[Melissa Edwards @MEDwardsintheED]
