OB/GYN Ultrasound

This five-day program is directed toward the performance of women’s ultrasound procedures. An integrated approach of lecture, demonstrations, hands-on scanning experience with models accomplishes the educational objectives. The basics of instrumentation and physics are reinforced in the laboratory. Advanced Health Education Center’s training model for skills classes provides a systematic approach of presenting an overview of the instrumentation and physics related to ultrasound. There will be both classroom presentation and hands-on scanning to provide for recognition of anatomy related to the female pelvis and various stages of gestation.  Attention will also be given to OB/Gyn measurements utilizing both the transabdominal and endovaginal scan approach.A variety of ultrasound equipment is available in the scan lab to allow for development of skills and appropriate scan protocols. A complete two-week program can be accomplished by preceding this course with the Abdominal Ultrasound course.
