Dr. Damewood is recognized as a leader in the clinical ultrasound community, both nationally and at UW. She oversees all aspects of ultrasound operations and education for all levels of learners at the Department of Emergency Medicine. Under her leadership, significant advances in archiving and reviewing clinical ultrasound images have led to improved ED patient care. She developed a clinical ultrasound fellowship in 2014, with graduating fellows into academic faculty and ultrasound leaders in community EDs. She was instrumental in the rollout of ultrasound for UW Health Med Flight providers, and also initiated a longitudinal research project exploring cardiopulmonary ultrasound findings in septic shock in collaboration with the UW Department of Medicine’s Division of Pulmonary Critical Care. She is currently involved in projects with ultrasound assessing aspiration pneumonia, 3D printing models, and prehospital care. Her interests within ultrasound include simulation, measuring ultrasound competency, and fellowship education.
