IMED 710K Clinical Ultrasound

Credits: 2
This clinical course provides foundational skills in the use of ultrasonography to augment the physical examination. Basic ultrasonography skills for the assessment of normal anatomy and physiology will be learned and applied to the differentiation of normal from basic pathologic states commonly encountered in clinical care. Students will learn the limitations of ultrasonography and when further imaging is appropriate for the care of the patient. The goal of the course is to provide foundational skills in limited ultrasonography that can be further developed during residency training. The course will include didactic sessions, asynchronous modules, deliberate practice in the simulated and supervised clinical settings, and small group discussions. Feedback will be provided by ultrasonographers, peers, residents, and faculty.
