We would like to welcome you to our annual Southwestern Ultrasound Regional Fellowship (SURF) Conference! We meet every year and put on this conference for fellows and young faculty. The cost is zero and this conference has a unique mission: Prepare ultrasound fellows to maximize their fellowship year, assist in early career development, and provide an environment to meet other fellows and young faculty with whom you will shape the future of emergency ultrasound. The course will proudly be hosted by the oh so amazing Chris Fox (@jchristianfox) at University of California-Irvine in Irvine, California on Friday August 26. Please try to join at least the night before for a big dinner. All free (thanks to MINDRAY who is our sponsor for this year’s course). Details and itinerary will be coming in the next few days to your email.

CONFERENCE ADDRESS: 3800 W. Chapman Avenue, Floor 3, Orange, CA 92868

Starting last year, we teamed up with the brilliant Felipe Teran (@FTeranMD) to bring a special fellow edition of The Resuscitative TEE Course. We are proud to do the same again this year the day before SURF. This will be the same course taught around the country but subsidized to bring the same amazing skills to fellows without the steeper price tag. Please note, faculty MAY sign up as well. This will be held Thursday, August 25th at UCI. Details for the course and signup are here: https://www.resuscitativetee.com/irvine

AirBNB: Safe to stay near the hospital. Stanton and parts of Anaheim can be a bit avoidable.

Stay in Anaheim - 

Multiple hotels on S Harbor Blvd, near Disneyland, in Anaheim at various rates. Close to the conference, about 10 min drive. Most on that street are like motels with families there to go to Disney with a few exceptions being the Marriott Courtyard Theme Park Entrance and Fairfield by Marriott Anaheim Resort. These will often have higher rates being walking distance to Disney but are safe nonetheless.

Newport Beach - 25 min drive

Long Beach - 30 min drive

Huntington Beach - 35 min drive

Laguna Beach - 30 min drive

San Clemente - 38 min drive
