About the Hands-On Event:
Elevate your expertise in women's health with our Two-Day Hands-On Ultrasound Course, tailored specifically for women’s health providers. The course begins with an essential online component, focusing on the basics of Point of Care Ultrasound (POCUS). This includes understanding the physics of ultrasound, which is vital for practical application during the hands-on segment. The online course is self-paced, can be returned to many times for review or clarification. It is the students’ course for a lifetime, including updates as they are made. You will need to complete the online portion before the event.
Then, join us at our hands-on scanning event, led by nationally certified sonographers and highly skilled faculty who are also midwives, nurse practitioners and obstetric certified nurses. The training provides a thorough breakdown of gynecological and obstetric ultrasound techniques. In gynecology, you will learn about the recognition of normal female anatomy, identification of common pelvic masses, and correct placement of IUDs.
The obstetric portion of our course covers a wide range of crucial skills. In the first trimester, it includes assessments of normal pregnancy development, gestational age determination, and the identification of complications such as ectopic pregnancies and failed pregnancies. The second and third trimesters focus on detailed fetal biometry, including assessments of fetal growth patterns and positions. You will also learn to perform and interpret Biophysical Profiles (BPP) to evaluate fetal well-being.
Our course goes beyond clinical skills, teaching participants how to master the controls (knobology) of ultrasound machines to optimize image quality and ensure effective diagnoses. Additionally, the course covers professional practice elements such as ultrasound billing and documentation.
With group sizes limited to four participants, our course ensures personalized instruction and extensive practical experience. This setting enhances learning outcomes and prepares you to confidently integrate ultrasound into your clinical practice. Join us to gain invaluable hands-on experience and become proficient in ultrasound examinations.
