At the bedside
Residents log each scan on their phone at the bedside, in the logbook, instead of in a spreadsheet.
Our story
Where we started, where we are
Resident ultrasound training here began on spreadsheets. In October 2026 it moved into one digital logbook, in the same month the first fellowship cohort starts.

Read it like a scan

Two KBEM graduates
Dr. Munaa Dashti and Dr. Abdullah Altaweel graduate from the Kuwait Board of Emergency Medicine.

Training in Boston
Simulation and ultrasound fellowships
Both complete a clinical simulation fellowship at the STRATUS Center for Medical Simulation (Harvard Medical School) and an emergency medicine point-of-care ultrasound fellowship at Brigham and Women's Hospital.
They bring that training home: to the resident POCUS rotation, and later to this fellowship.

The record we carry forward
From November 2024, the spreadsheet record covers 54 resident rotations and 10,882 logged scans.

October 2026
One digital logbook
All of that record moved into a single digital logbook. Residents now log at the bedside on their phones. A senior confirms each scan. Directors see who is on track.

5 October 2026
The first fellowship cohort
The first cohort of the KEUS Fellowship starts. The fellowship QA platform launches with it: fellows log every scan with their own interpretation, and faculty review the clips blind.
Where we are
What changed
Confirmed by a senior
A fellow or faculty member confirms each resident scan. Only confirmed scans count.
Visible progress
Rotation directors can see who is on track during the month, not only at the end.
Patient privacy is part of the design: MRNs are stored only as one-way hashes, and logbook clips are cropped on the phone before upload. Privacy and data handling
