During both courses, regular ultrasound machines with healthy volunteers as well as simulators will be used.

Ultrasound devices: 1 US device per 5 participants with one healthy volunteer

Schallware Ultrasound Simulators: Advanced 1 participant per simulator + master simulator on stage

These simulation-supported ultrasound courses last 4 days. The courses are conducted with alternating lecturers and tutors on real US devices and simulators.

The aim of the courses is to offer a basic and advanced abdominal course according to EFSUMB/DEGUM guidelines. Participants will have extensive individual practice time using the simulator and gain access to the pathology database.

The lecturers perform a “master scan” on stage with projection via beamer, while all participants repeat the exercise simultaneously using a dummy probe and mannequin (simulator).

After simulator training, the acquired skills are applied to volunteers and real ultrasound devices.
