Welcome to P2 President Dr. Lorraine Ng!

President’s Message:

It is my honor and privilege to serve as the next P2 president! I have big shoes to fill but the P2 Executive Board has been working tirelessly to make this upcoming year a great year for our community!

By way of introduction, for those of you who don’t know me, I am currently the Director of Pediatric Emergency Ultrasound and the Associate Director of Emergency Ultrasound for the Department of Emergency Medicine at New York Presbyterian-Columbia University Medical Center in New York, NY.

In my role as P2 President, I hope to continue the trajectory of excellence that P2 has trailblazed over the past decade. By building upon the P2’s foundation, I plan to highlight the strengths of the PEM POCUS network and support the work of our subcommittee platforms to push our community initiatives forward. I also plan to continue to unite the vast international PEM POCUS community into a diverse, multifaceted global network that sets the standard for universally accessible educational resources and policies and collaborative multi-institutional research.

Please feel free to reach out to me with any ideas, feedback, or questions. I look forward to working with this incredible group and for P2 to continue being the premier organization for Pediatric Emergency POCUS.

Lorraine Ng, MD
