Biography
I have completed my MD training in Sackler school of Medicine in Tel Aviv University in 2014, and started my residency in Pediatric medicine on 2015. During my training I have completed a comprehensive point of care ultrasound course in Soroka University Medical Center affiliated to Ben Gurion University, which focused on FAST exam, cardiac, lung and vascular POCUS. As a future fellow in Pediatric emergency medicine, with the aim to improve and perfect this art of ER subspecialty, I designed with other experts in the field this short termed simulation based training in POCUS, which proved extremely efficient and productive. I truly believe this work will demonstrate the tremendous effect of POCUS training on the professional skills of residents in Pediatric medicine, and will encourage other hospitals around the world to initiate such programs.
