This course will require students to look at the existing literature as it relates to teaching ultrasound of the cavities and includes scanning in the regions of the thorax, abdomen and pelvis as it relates to focused exams and clinical decision making. After surveying some of the literature, students will acquire and submit ultrasound images weekly for feedback and assessment from specific regions. Students will then shift focus to discussing the development and management of an ultrasound program. This will include budgeting, staffing proposals, resources allocation and equipment considerations. In addition it will cover some of the marketing and aligning the program within the goals and culture of the institution.
