Andrew Giles, DO

My name is Andrew Giles and I am a second-year resident at Cleveland Clinic Akron General. I originally took an interest in ultrasound as a medical student, performing FAST exams in the trauma bay. Upon starting residency, I quickly recognized its utility in aiding in diagnosis and guiding the resuscitation of critically ill patients. I have been fortunate to train alongside and be mentored by experts in the field, who constantly push me to integrate ultrasound into my practice as an emergency physician. I am excited to run for the resident member position on the AEUS executive committee with the hopes of encouraging my peers to further integrate advanced ultrasound into their daily practice, and explore novel ways in which ultrasound can be used. Additionally, I am a passionate medical student educator, and as a graduate of a medical school where ultrasound curriculum was minimal, I hope to provide medical students with easily accessible ways to obtain a more formal and detailed introduction to the field. I was able to attend SAEM 2025 and was fortunately selected to present a lightning oral abstract, and I am looking forward to continued involvement with AEUS and SAEM to improve ultrasound accessibility and integration.
