Hands-On Training for Organizations

Let us come to you to provide hands on training in OB or MFM.  We collaborate with your Lead Sonographer or management team to maximize training time with each sonographer. Doctors and other staff may attend the lecture portion of the training, and may scan if time permits or desired. 

Our process of planning and delivering training typically is as follows:

• You identify a group (typically no more than 7 sonographers-if a large group, we can cater to that as well)

• Decide on course content: between us, we select relevant topics together:

Example of hands-on training topics:

• 1. Standard Fetal Heart Views

  2. Intro to Fetal Echocardiography

  3. Intro to MFM Sonography

*We are happy to cater a specific topic that best suits your teams needs!

• Find a room (meeting room or office space) to present an hour lecture, typically in the morning, on day 1 of training.

• Reserve an ultrasound room: Block one ultrasound room for training, this will still allow you to utilize other rooms to ensure your schedule keeps moving.

• Volunteers: Asking your current pregnant patients (who have already had a normal anatomy scan) is a great way to practice! 

• Timings: typically 3-5 days depending on the course content; we agree tentative dates.

• Book the course: we provide a quote; once you agree and sign a contract, we finalize the dates.

• Course materials: we provide a copy of the presentation materials and deliver to your site. 

• Delivery: our trainer (Megan Meade) comes on-site to deliver the training on the chosen dates.  That’s it!

• CME Certificates: We know how imporant it is to attend activities approved for CMEs! After training, each sonographer who attends the full training will be asked to fill out forms to gain CME credits from the SDMS.

Benefits of On-Site Training:

• Face-to-face: Optimal engagement with an instructor on-site 

• "Home Advantage": Training on your equipment, in your facility, with volunteers you select.

• Group activity: Maximize attendance, providing the opportunity for greater participation.
