Build on your existing ultrasound knowledge and unlock your full potential
This practical and theoretical programme consists of 12 modules and will equip you with an in-depth knowledge of advanced ultrasound applications. Your clinical decision-making proficiency will be strengthened through advanced learning in ultrasound examination findings in specific disease entities, and a focus on communication of relevant differential diagnoses and prognostic factors. You will gain in-depth confidence in performing advanced applications of ultrasound in abdominal, musculoskeletal, thoracic and neck examinations, as well as ultrasound-guided tissue sampling and injection techniques. Elastography and contrast-enhanced ultrasound will be introduced for use in clinical practice.
This training will also enable you to achieve a General Practitioner Advanced Certificate in Ultrasound (GPAdvCert(US)) awarded by the International School of Veterinary Postgraduate Studies (ISVPS).
