How you will learn |
At Zedu, we believe in a comprehensive learning approach. |
Our renowned hands-off teaching methods ensure you get more hands-on scanning practice. Our courses blend theory seamlessly with extensive practical sessions. |
You'll understand the concepts and apply them in real-world scenarios. We take a step-by-step, structured approach to examinations, ensuring everything is covered thoroughly and nothing is left to chance. |
The focus on repetitive practice ensures that you learn and retain the knowledge. You will practice on real people of various body shapes, sizes, and ages. |
We start by developing your skills with normal, uncomplicated patients and then progress to more challenging body habitus’. |
This gradual progression ensures that you build a solid foundation before tackling more complex scenarios, giving you the confidence to handle any situation. Additionally, you'll develop communication skills to support your clinical practice. |
What the course covers |
- Move the probe intentionally to get the image you want.
- Use the machine controls to optimise images proficiently.
- Apply a systematic approach and structured protocol for scanning the
- Cervix
- Placenta
- Maternal anatomy
- Fetal anatomy
- Determine what images to take and why.
- Structure the examination to ensure that all relevant anatomical structures and measurements are systematically assessed promptly, reducing the risk of missing important findings.
- Communicate effectively in the exam room to obtain an appropriate presenting history, address patient concerns, and enhance patient satisfaction.
- Perform accurate biometric measurements (BPD, HC, AC and FL).
- Identify normal sonoanatomy and the appearances of common pathologies.
- Purposefully acquire images of the fetal anatomy (Brain, face, heart, thorax, abdomen, limbs and digits).
- Use sonographic terminology to accurately communicate ultrasound findings and complete worksheets for various imaging scenarios.
