Richard P. Kozinski MD is originally from Chugiak, Alaska and completed his medical educationat the Medical University of Lodz, Poland. Between medical school and residency, he helped manage a large rheumatology office, which exposed him to the utility of ultrasound-guided procedures. While completing his Family Medicine residency at Yuma Regional Medical Center in Yuma, Arizona, his interest in ultrasound in the primary care setting expanded with additional elective course work in ultrasound, CME and purchasing his own portable ultrasound device. His interest solidified after being accepted to the Primary Care Ultrasound Fellowship at Prisma Health/University of South Carolina School of Medicine in Columbia, SC. His previous experiences with information technology allowed further connections with industry leaders, IT project managers and other POCUS champions to continue expansion of ultrasound in the primary care setting. His goals are to continue being a clinical educator in POCUS, continue advocating use of ultrasound in the primary setting, and utilizing bedside ultrasound in hospitalist medicine.
