An Innovative Curriculum For Teaching Transesophageal Echocardiography (TEE) to Emergency Medicine Residents.

Background: Focused transesophageal echocardiogram (TEE) can be a valuable tool for emergency physicians (EP) during cardiac arrest.

Objectives: We sought to demonstrate the ability of emergency medicine (EM) residents without prior TEE experience to perform a simulated four-view TEE following a short, flipped conference curriculum.

Methods: This was a prospective, simulation-based study where EM residents participated in the following four-view TEE curriculum: 1 h of online content reviewed prior to a 20-min in-person lecture and 30-min hands-on practice using a TEE trainer.
