For this year’s procedure didactic and as part of her QI project, resident Patrycja Ashley, MD wanted to focus on educating the residents about vascular access, given that this is such a critical skill in the practice of internal medicine. She and Dr. Philip Verhoef (associate program director) presented didactic education on vascular access, followed by a practicum in which the residents were able to use ultrasound guidance to cannulate fake blood vessels (made from boba straws) embedded in gelatin molds.
