This document discusses the role of social media in ultrasound education and describes the resources available through EMUGs (Emergency Medicine Ultrasound Group). It outlines the author's journey learning ultrasound through traditional courses and extensive practice, and how social media and online resources can serve as valuable supplements for learning. EMUGs maintains a website and social media pages collating various ultrasound education resources, courses, podcasts, and blogs to support practitioners' ongoing learning. Users are encouraged to share ultrasound cases and questions to inspire and help others.
