Overview
The Small Animal Ultrasound Workshop will provide attendees with a total of 17.5 CE hours.
This continuing education course is organized in a hybrid format including 4 hours of self study, a 2-hour live webinar, and 1.5 days of in-person training with 7 hours of hands-on labs and 4.5 lecture hours. We have intentionally utilized this format for ultrasound training to: (1) support knowledge retention in adult learners by allowing attendees to space out their study efforts and practice information retrieval over time (rather than cramming everything into 2 or 3 days), and (2) capitalize on our in-person time together by covering several preliminary concepts in advance of the on-site weekend, leaving as many hours as possible for attendees to practice scanning live dogs with radiologist support.
- Four hours of online, asynchronous content before the in-person workshop
- A two-hour webinar panel discussion
- 11.5 hours at the in-person workshop
- Includes seven hours of hands-on lab time
The in-person workshop will feature:
- A small student-to-teacher ratio
- Networking with current veterinary students
- Hands-on work with high-quality ultrasound units
