In response to the Covid-19 Pandemic, we have created an Virtual OB GYN Ultrasound Course.  We are very excited to offer this new interactive training experience. While this will be our method of educating our practitioners during the height of this pandemic, we are excited to extend this offering as a way to continue supporting our students well beyond this pandemic.

The fundamentals of our training program have not changed. You will begin with On Demand lectures and hands-on scanning videos to prepare you for the live scanning sessions. This is your foundation. You will learn the fundamentals of OB GYN Ultrasound including anatomy, imaging plans, scanning technique, exam protocols, and more. These concepts will then be demonstrated in a virtual classroom with interactive question and answer format. Once we complete that, you will then go to your facility and practice what you learned on your machine. We will then meet again, and this time, you will scan while one of our instructors watches and instructs as you scan your volunteer. This allows us to troubleshoot common areas of concern with scanning and imaging, answer technical questions regarding your ultrasound system and anything else you need.

You will have access to our educators for follow up. They are able to view images, help with scanning technique, provide feedback and assist in developing your confidence in performing and interpreting OB GYN Ultrasound exams.

Show Us Your Skills

To help support you after you leave our class, we have developed a new program called “Show Us Your Skills”

Simply text or email images (with patient information removed) and we can evaluate them with you. This is particularly helpful when you are practicing on your own. If you are struggling with technique, interpretation or even your machine, we can provide guidance. Please do not be shy about using this service. We love hearing from our students and look forward to interesting cases. We are still in touch with students that we taught years ago!

This service is included when you purchase one of our monthly hands-on workshop packages. 

Yes! We will be demonstrating scanning skills on live patients and phantoms. This includes first trimester transvaginal scanning technique, CRL measurements, viability, and third trimester biometry, BPP, fluid assessment, placenta evaluation, cervical length and more.
Yes! Our courses are small, which allows for customized instruction. Many practitioners arrive with little to no experience. This is an introductory course and we focus on the fundamentals of OB GYN ultrasound.
Of course! We teach all medical practitioners. We even taught a group of paramedics how to perform point of care ultrasound.
This workshop can be scheduled whenever it works for you. You will need to contact us to schedule it.
Of course! A full list of billing codes, protocols, scanning guidelines and interpretation guidelines are included in the course.
You will receive a Certificate of Completion when you finish this course. This comes with 12 AMA Category 1 CME

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!

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.
