Introduction to Pediatric Ultrasound
Introduction to Pediatric Ultrasound Online Course is comprised of thirteen (13) modules and is designed to provide a comprehensive overview of pediatric ultrasound examination techniques. Imaging fundamentals, scan techniques for abdominal, neurosonography, neonatal spine, pediatric hip, and trauma applications are also included. Enrollment is valid for 12 months (365 days) and begins the moment the participant is enrolled. Extend your online course access another 3 months with the addition of an onsite hands-on workshop or registration for a regularly scheduled GCUS scan workshop.
