The fellowship
A fellowship built on the scan, and on what happened to the patient.
The KEUS Fellowship is a postgraduate fellowship in emergency point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS) in Kuwait. It is for senior emergency physicians who are specialising in emergency ultrasound.
Fellows scan patients in the emergency department. Every scan goes into the program's QA platform with the fellow's own interpretation. A faculty member reads the clip without seeing that interpretation, then scores it and sends written teaching feedback.
Each interpretation is then checked against the outcome: CT, surgery or the clinical course. Over time, that shows how accurate each fellow is.
What the program does
Four parts of one program
Blinded QA and feedback
Faculty give their own read of each clip before they see the fellow's. Then they score entrustment from 1 to 5 and send written feedback.
How review worksProcedural competence
Ultrasound-guided procedures are logged too: central lines, nerve blocks, paracentesis, pericardiocentesis and others.
Guided proceduresResident teaching
The program runs the one-month POCUS rotation for Kuwait Board of Emergency Medicine residents. Fellows and faculty confirm the residents' scans.

Our story so far
From spreadsheets to one logbook
Resident rotations used to be tracked in Excel spreadsheets. In October 2026 the whole record moved into a single digital logbook. Residents now log at the bedside on their phones, and a senior confirms each scan.
