Curriculum Overview
The Advanced Ultrasound certificate is a 3 year self-directed learning experience. Students will participate in ultrasound teaching labs as small group facilitators or ultrasound models depending on the level of training. Students will identify up to four ultrasound exams relevant to their future practice and perform those exams under faculty supervision in a variety of settings that may include skills labs, simulation, and the clinical environment. Students must practice and demonstrate basic competency in ultrasound guided procedures, usually ultrasound guided IV placement.
