Key features:

·     Fetal Anomaly Scan is an Advanced Obstetrics ultrasound course for Pregnancy Assessment.

·     This Advanced Ultrasound for Pregnancy Assessment courses are delivered with a main focus on the acquisition of extended practical skills on scanning techniques and protocols to identify/exclude fetal anomaly including Chromosomal or aneuploidy scan.

·     This course will give you the practical and theoretical knowledge to perform and understand ultrasound examination in pregnancy with emphasis on ability of identifying fetal anomalies, including sonographic soft-markers for genetic abnormalities.

·     This program will also demonstrate the techniques of Doppler assessment of Fetal-maternal circulation, fetal well-being and IUGR and Biophysical profile.

·     One to One Hands-on training is the main focus on practical skills acquisition with practical and didactic classes with instructor-student of 1:5 ratios.

·     State of the art training facility with modern ultrasound equipment ranging from basic machine to high resolution TVS, Color Doppler, 3D/4D facilities.

·     The utilization of real pregnant patient supplemented by videos, slides, lectures etc.

·     Time-frame of this course can be extended up to 15-90 days according to the participant’s special needs.

Target group:

·    This Advanced Obstetrics Ultrasound Program assumes a reasonable experience in the basic components of obstetrics ultrasound scanning.

·  Are you an Obstetrician and or Sonologist looking to develop your ultrasound skills to identify fetal anomalies, Genetic or aneuploidy scanning?

·  Are you an Obstetrician/Sonologist looking to learn ultrasound for pregnancy assessment in advance level with the ability to assess fetal-maternal circulation or Doppler assessment?

·   Do you simply want to improve, refresh or extend your obstetric ultrasound technique?
