Course Overview

This course is designed with specialists in mind. Through the use of didactic lectures, demonstrations and hands-on ultrasound wet labs, attendees will have the opportunity to address their specific learning needs and further enhance their proficiency in abdominal ultrasound. The labs are designed to maximize the scanning time in small group environments, guided by Diplomates of the American College of Veterinary Radiology. These instructors will help individualize and guide attendee learning based on what they would like to accomplish in the labs.

This course was made possible thanks to the generous support of our sponsor, MedVet, and our lab partner, Sound Powered by Antech.
