SORRY, THIS COURSE IS SOLD OUT
Abdominal Ultrasound October
This weekend workshop offers a comprehensive introduction to abdominal ultrasound with step-by-step guidance and plenty of hands-on time to develop your scanning technique. Using high-quality machines (with exclusive options to purchase), you’ll work through each abdominal organ in a lecture-practical format. You’ll cover theory and imaging guides, then move immediately into a practical session so you can scan the target organ while it’s fresh in your mind. Bonus points for adrenals!
This course is suitable for mixed and small-animal veterinarians, at general practice or intern level.
For registered veterinarians only.
WHO IS THIS WORKSHOP FOR?
This workshop has been designed for registered veterinarians who are new to systematic abdominal ultrasound. We’ll cover everything you need to get started and some of the tricks you might have missed if you’re already using ultrasound in the clinic. In addition to hours of hands-on scanning practice, you’ll see how the experts hold and move the probe, and how they manipulate gain, focus, depth and other image optimisation tools to get the most out of ultrasound.
Whether you scored 5 minutes of training at uni or nothing at all (that’s most of us), this workshop will step you through abdominal ultrasound for everyday practice and show you how it should be a natural part of your diagnostic process. You’ll see how abdominal ultrasound is useful for both medical and surgical case workups, and we’ll provide you with comprehensive take-home notes to help keep on track when you’re back at work.
Participants in this workshop enjoy learning from a blend of experienced teaching staff, including practicing veterinary imaging and internal medicine specialists and a bonus GP vet with additional imaging qualifications (who really understand the challenges of life in veterinary practice).
No experience is necessary. Absolute beginners are welcome, and if you’re already scanning, you’ll be taking your imaging skills to the next level.
Don’t miss this opportunity to embrace abdominal ultrasound as an important diagnostic tool at your fingertips. You’ll love meeting our kind and experienced teaching staff, and you’ll enjoy the relaxed and capable atmosphere of our workshops.
