Introduction to OB GYN Ultrasound- Pelvic + First Trimester

Teacher
Julie Gaston

This comprehensive course was created for the women’s health practitioner who is interested in adding point of care ultrasound to their scope of practice. It consists of a combination of recorded lectures and hands-on scanning videos. We start at the beginning to give you a foundation for building your skill set. Ultrasound is a critical piece in the puzzle of women’s health and we are proud to be a part of advancing the availability of quality ultrasound services to the world.

This course begins with a series of lectures on ultrasound principles, image orientation, scanning technique and knobology. This is your foundation. Once you understand the basics of ultrasound we move on to anatomy and physiology. Here we begin with the nongravid pelvis. This includes evaluation of the uterus, ovaries, endometrium and cervix. Next we review the first trimester exam from conception through the thirteenth week. This includes crown rump length measurements, gestational sac and yolk sac evaluation, m-mode assessment for viability and abnormal findings.  Finally, we include a physics section that provides a firm foundation for the creation of the ultrasound image and how we can manipulate it. Hands-on scanning videos help to solidify the concepts taught in the lectures.

Course Objectives

1. Recognize basic ultrasound artifacts

The instructor was extremely knowledgeable, patient and offers so many different tricks to use to feel comfortable while scanning. This course was very helpful. The best part of the course was the small instructor/student ratio and hands on time we each had to see patients at various stages of their pregnancy. Both the on-line portion and the hands-on were effective ways to help me master knowledge and skills.

Hands on Learning in a Comfortable Environment – we could take our time and be corrected without FEAR! I learned how to find the cervix and more information about the buttons and controls on the machine. This course was amazing. The instructor was incredible. She was patient, caring, skilled and delivers corrective criticism a beautiful way!

Thank you for a wonderful day of Training! The instructor was wonderful, thorough and thoughtful. She covered the material we wanted to learn. I learned protocols for transvaginal sonogram and instructions on how to use the machine.

This training has made me feel so much more comfortable performing ultrasounds. The best part of the course is the hands-on practice. Being able to walk through the ultrasound technique was so helpful. The instructor was so patient with all of us and took the time to answer all of our questions and concerns.

The best part of the training is the personalized attention! I also thought that the repetition and the ability to ask questions was great. Thought it was a great training and so much more helpful than our hospital training.
