Co-author of Ultrasound in Emergency Medicine and Ultrasonography in Trauma: The FAST Exam, Dr. Jehle is an innovator in bedside sonography by emergency physicians. Due to his participation, graduates of the Buffalo program are certified to use ultrasound in the ED. He is viewed as a national leader in the use of Ultrasound in Emergency Medicine.

Medical/Research Interests: Ultrasonography, transportation injury, resuscitation

Personal Interests: Tennis, softball, skiing, table tennis

About the Residency: The variety of clinical experience and excellent faculty make the SUNY at Buffalo Program stand out. The faculty enthusiasm for teaching is outstanding. The SUNY at Buffalo Emergency Medicine program has had significant success in getting external grant funding. There are numerous faculty that have had significant national involvement in emergency medicine.

About Buffalo: Buffalo is a great place to live. Western New York is a friendly place with safe neighborhoods and excellent schools. The proximity to Canada gives the region an international flavor. Beaches, lakes and skiing are easily accessible. My family loves it here.

Editor's Note: "Dr. Jehle is one of the original innovators of the concept of bedside sonography by emergency physicians. He is co-author (along with Mike Heller) of 'Ultrasound in Emergency Medicine', the first textbook in the field and more recently the textbook 'Ultrasonography in Trauma: The FAST Exam' that published the ACEP. He authored the first study of the use of ultrasonography in blunt abdominal trauma by emergency physicians and the first emergency medicine study of the use of bedside ultrasound to evaluate abdominal pathology. In addition, he was an author of the first study of oximetry in pre-hospital care and of head cooling in cardiac arrest. Dr. Jehle helped bring the first computer- based LCD presentation to a national emergency medicine meeting. Residents in the program have the opportunity to learn sonography from a pioneer in the field who is also an excellent clinician and an effective leader."
