6 CME Credits

This course is designed for physicians, nurse practicioners, physician assistants and other allied health professionals interested in basic point-of-care ultrasound. General ultrasound physics and instrumentation will be covered to assist you in correctly interpreting the information you gather during your scan.  This course will include subject areas such as the gallbladder and biliary tree, kidneys, aorta, thyroid and a DVT exam.  You will learn the specialized skills needed to evaluate these organs effectively. Course content can be tailored to meet your specific needs.  During this course you will have the opportunity to practice your skills.  Registrants will participate in hands-on scanning labs either in a classroom-based teaching environment with live models or at your own facility.  We provide an integrated learning approach consisting of lecture, demonstrations and hands-on scanning.
