Contemporary data describing scholarly productivity among emergency ultrasound fellowship directors (EUSFDs) is limited.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>We performed a cross\u2010sectional study of U.S. emergency ultrasound fellowship programs listed by the Society of Clinical Ultrasound Fellowships (SCUF). Publication histories were identified through PubMed, the SCUF website, MedEdPORTAL, and ACEP (American College of Emergency Physicians) Sonoguide. Qualifying publications included original research, reviews, editorials, educational scholarship, and other PubMed\u2010indexed work. The primary outcome was the proportion of EUSFDs meeting the 2026 publication benchmark of \u2265\u20095 first\u2010, second\u2010, or last\u2010author emergency ultrasound publications. Multivariable logistic regression evaluated factors associated with meeting this threshold.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Among 134 eligible programs, EUSFDs had a median of 3\u2009years in their role (IQR 1\u20136) and 1 qualifying publication (IQR 0\u20134). Twenty\u2010six directors (19.4%) met the 2026 publication benchmark based on identified publications. Fifty\u2010seven (42.5%) had at least one first\u2010author publication, and 70 (52.2%) had at least one first\u2010 or last\u2010author publication. Under the 2011 requirements, 56 directors (41.8%) met publication criteria. Interrater agreement was high (kappa\u2009=\u20090.895). Each additional year as a fellowship director was associated with 12% greater odds of meeting the publication threshold (aOR 1.12, 95% CI 1.02\u20131.24).<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Among U.S. EUS fellowship programs, one in five EUSFDs met the 2026 publication benchmark based on identified publications. Longer\u2010serving directors were more likely to meet the publication benchmark, although this association may reflect career duration or prior scholarly productivity. As expectations for fellowship leadership evolve, national efforts focused on mentorship, support, collaboration, and protected time may help support scholarly development and facilitate attainment of these standards.<\/jats:p>\n
