Abdo-Cardabra! Small Animal Basic Ultrasound
Course Overview: The day will be informal and relaxed with maximum time for hands-on learning. Arrive for tea and coffee from 8.30am, ready to begin the lectures at 9am. We will aim to finish by 5.30pm. Places are limited to a maximum of 10 delegates so book your place early to avoid disappointment. Course notes will be provided.
Topics Covered: This full day course is aimed at vets with minimal experience of diagnostic ultrasound and those who feel that they could get much more from their ultrasound machine for
both basic abdominal ultrasonography and basic echocardiography. Via a blend of lectures, demonstrations, and practical hands-on sessions you will gain the fundamental knowledge to improve your skills or get started if you don’t know where to begin.
