Mastering the basic abdominal ultrasound examination is an essential skill for the small animal practitioner. The topics and principles will be covered during an hour-long demonstration on a live dog. This will be followed by a 2 hour session during which the learning will be re-enforced, with all participants practicing the demonstrated techniques and watching colleagues practice the techniques on live dogs.
This course is for practitioners with a good working knowledge of basic abdominal ultrasound.
