ULTRASOUND FOR THE PRACTITIONER
On-Site Training in YOUR Facility
" As a recent graduate, I feel Dr.McInnis' 2 day on-site training experience gave me more competence and confidence in abdominal ultrasound than all my training in (Vet) school." Dr. Jessica Blake, Lander Valley Animal Hospital
Personal or Small Group instruction in YOUR facility with YOUR ultrasound machine with subject animals provided by you:
We offer a TWO DAY INTENSIVE ABDOMINAL OR CARDIAC COURSE featuring lecture, wet lab practice, fine needle biopsy technique, and discussion with as much one on one attention as you choose. We do not follow the traditional method of training: we have developed a new approach to help you learn much faster than I did. This is the most effective 2 day abdominal OR cardiac ultrasound training available for small animal veterinarians.
GOAL: To make ultrasound diagnostically and financially viable in your practice
An introductory lecture makes use of ultrasound still images, ultrasound videos, diagrams, demonstrations, and props to emphasize and simulate transducer movements.
The wet lab is about 10 hours of intensive scanning to meet the course objectives interspersed with additional lecture/discussion presenting normal organ appearance and abnormalities.
16 hours of intensive training over 2 days
