An Ultrasound Volunteer (UV) is a person
who volunteers to be the subject of educational ultrasounds by medical
students, residents, and physicians using ultrasound. The use of UVs helps the
learner obtain interpersonal, communication, assessment, physical exam and
patient management skills while reviewing anatomy, physiology, and ultrasound
imaging techniques. The Ultrasound in Medical Education Program recruits
volunteers for various curricular activities and assessments of bedside
ultrasound throughout the School of Medicine, UC Irvine Medical Center, and
other off-site locations. We focus on training students and physicians to
become competent sonologists who can instinctively pilot an ultrasound device,
bringing them closer to their patient and their patient's illness at the bedside.
