The residency training program includes a 1-month rotation in emergency ultrasound; however, the curriculum does not include any training on the use of ultrasound for endotracheal tube confirmation.
Though it is a short 1-week rotation with emergency-focused didactic lectures, but it gives an exposure to emergency practice.
