Ultrasound Course with UWI-Cave Hill, Barbados Department of Emergency Medicine

Dr. Schiller has been working with Core Faculty from the Department of Emergency Medicine at the University of West Indies Cave Hill Campus (https://www.cavehill.uwi.edu/fms/) over the last year to foster educational programming to support local clinical care.  This came to fruition on March 23-24th, when he facilitated an Emergency Ultrasound Course to Emergency Medicine residents at UWI-Cave Hill.  The course was presented by teaching faculty from the Division of Ultrasound at Maimonides Medical Center’s Department of Emergency Medicine, spearheaded by Dr. Irina Sanjaveen-Cabeza and featuring recognized lecturers in Emergency Ultrasound. This marks the opening seminar in a series that will include a simulation course in Fall, 2026 that will augment UWI resident skills, as well as a parallel course to train the trainers, thereby laying the groundwork for independent simulation practice.  

IMR is thrilled to assist in building capacity for Emergency Medicine practice in Barbados, as well as opening channels of communication in real-time to support ongoing competency in critical skills going forward.
