Feeling nervous scanning limbs with the owner peering over your shoulder?!
This course is aimed at new or recent graduates, and those looking to refresh their ultrasonography skills. It consists of webinars and day of practicals focused on ultrasound scanning of the forelimb. The tutors will guide you through how to make use of the settings on your ultrasound machine before working through the limb and neck.
The recorded lectures allow you to learn at your own pace and they can be listened to at a convenient time - you just need to confirm you have worked through them as a prerequisite for attending the practical component of the course. This allows more practical sessions to be fitted in to the onsite part of the course giving more time for you to have the probe in your hand!
Why do this course?
This course aims to provide you with the confidence to scan the forelimb with hints and tips on how to detect lesions.
