This course has been introduced following requests from many students over the last 4 years. We have designed this course for Medical Doctors who are going to work in low resource settings in the next 6 months with access to an Ultrasound machine. This course is very practical and hands-on and is limited to 16 participants. You will be working on a variety of ultrasound scanners, including internal obstetric scanners. Also, we aim to continue support in the field after the course with a secure website for referrals and case studies.
Full details, along with the application form, can be found here - Introduction to Ultrasound in Low Resource Settings
