Description
What better way is there to refresh and develop your veterinary ultrasound skills than attending this small group, hands-on weekend course in Pembrokeshire? This course balances both lectures and lab work using phantoms and live dogs. During the labs, the attendees will learn to use the functions of the ultrasound machines provided: set up a patient record, measurement package for linear and volume measurements, save images, review images, labeling images, adjust gain, adjust depth, and adjust frequency, adjust focal points, use Colourflow Doppler in the abdomen, and the use of cinematic loop. Each attendee will be required to take a turn on the keyboards and transducers during each lab period.

Once the learning has finished, on the Friday and Saturday we will help you to immerse yourself in a coastal outdoor activity experience. Pembrokeshire has a wealth of beauty to be explored on the coast, which will be provided by enthusiastic and well qualified instructors.


" 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.
