Richard A. Hoppmann MD, FACP, FAIUM is a Professor of Medicine and Dean Emeritus at the University of South Carolina School of Medicine Ultrasound Institute in Columbia, SC. Dr. Hoppmann earned his Doctor of Medicine degree at the Medical University of South Carolina, completed his internal medicine residency at East Carolina University School of Medicine, and completed his rheumatology fellowship at Wake Forest University Bowman-Gray School of Medicine. He is board certified in Internal Medicine and Rheumatology. In 2006, as Associate Dean of Medical Education, he introduced the nation's first integrated ultrasound curriculum (iUSC) across all four years of medical student education at the University of South Carolina School of Medicine -Columbia. Since that time, he has also helped develop a number of ultrasound training programs, including one for physician assistants and a primary care ultrasound fellowship. He is founder and served as the first President of the Society of Ultrasound in Medical Education (SUSME) which hosts and co-hosts a number of national and international ultrasound education meetings such as the World
