Overall Objectives

At the conclusion of each continuing medical education activity, the participant should be better able to:

• to impart in lecture and discussion formats and in scanning and problem sessions, clinical and technical ultrasound knowledge and skills;
• to present and practice reading and interpretation of ultrasound images and information;
• to compare and relate ultrasound knowledge and skills with peers.

IMPORTANT NOTE:
These short-term courses do not constitute comprehensive ultrasound training leading to proficiency which takes several months to accomplish. They are regarded as continuing medical education; they serve to update the physician on current techniques and clinical applications and act as an introductory complement to the sonographer's supervised clinical on-the-job ultrasound training.
