Description:
New for 2011! Our new combined short courses in abdominal and Limited OB ultrasound allow you the flexibility to pick and choose the training options that work best for you and your schedule. Maximize your time away from the workplace and enroll for a combined course. The focus of this five day course is to provide participants with the “need to know” information to efficiently and effectively complete a general abdominal and Limited OB ultrasound procedure.
The first three days of the course is the presentation of the basic ultrasound techniques involved in completing an abdominal ultrasound series and general handling of the ultrasound device. The course comprises an introduction to normal ultrasound anatomy of the abdominal organs, followed by lecture presentations of the common pathologic changes encountered in a diagnostic procedure. The two-day Limited OB program is designed for the healthcare professional using ultrasound to provide enhancement to the obstetrical examination. The OB course includes evaluation of the gravid pelvis, fetal measurements and the ultrasound appearance of fetal anomalies. Lecture is followed each day by a faculty supervised hands on ultrasound scan lab. The Interactive scan lab with live models and small groups allow each participant ample opportunity to gain the knowledge and skill needed to independently perform a basic abdominal ultrasound procedure.
