Are you attending the Ultrasound in Medical Education Forum at UC Irvine?

Point-of-care ultrasound is redefining how physicians evaluate patients, diagnose medical conditions, and make decisions. The value of attaining competence in ultrasonography during medical school was demonstrated by Kobal et al. in 2005, who documented that first-year medical students with 18 hours of ultrasound training can outperform seasoned cardiologists in detecting cardiac abnormalities.¹ Nearly 50 U.S. medical schools are augmenting their curriculum with ultrasound education.²

Has your medical school integrated ultrasound into its curriculum? Find out how SonoSim’s self-directed ultrasound training program is changing the way students learn anatomy, understand pathophysiology and examine their patients.

We look forward to speaking with you at the 2nd Annual Ultrasound in Medical Education Forum at UC Irvine on May 31 & June 1, 2015.
