Teaching is performed by experienced emergency physicians and experienced sonographers working in the critical care area. We have had 10 years experience in the field of teaching ultrasound.

The course includes online preparation. The groups are small to maximise scanning time. We have a 3D simulator which helps understand anatomy when we are not scanning.
