Ultrasound-Guided Procedure Training

Develop Psychomotor Skills Critical to Successful Ultrasound Procedures

SonoSim's ultrasound-guided procedures training series is designed to equip healthcare professionals with the knowledge and key psychomotor skills necessary for ultrasound procedure success. Our comprehensive library covers a wide range of procedures for a variety of learner levels - everything from central & peripheral ultrasound-guided vascular access, joint injections, & needle biopsy guidance, to paracentesis, thoracentesis, pericardiocentesis, and even transesophageal echocardiography (TEE). Through interactive courses, advanced simulation technology, and real-life case studies, SonoSim transforms your laptop into an immersive and personalized training platform. Engage in deliberate practice that helps develop key visuomotor & visuospatial skills required for ultrasound procedure success. 

Updated-Final_8.11.23

SonoSim online courses provide the background knowledge required to perform a variety of ultrasound-guided procedures. The SonoSimulator®, used with SonoSim procedural assignments, helps develop image acquisition and image interpretation. And our patented needle visualization, using real-time, in- and out-of-plane guidance, ensures comprehension and psychomotor skill development. SonoSim's innovative platform integrates real patient anatomy with hands-on simulation, allowing you to learn using real ultrasound anatomy, including imaging artifacts. You can even apply Doppler techniques - when appropriate. A key feature of SonoSim ultrasound-guided procedure training is expert-system artificial intelligence (AI) that provides immediate feedback on needle trajectory and ultrasound procedure success. Informative video tutorials and findings videos provide virtual coaching on-demand to assist your learning.
