Core Application Steps

Hands-on Ultrasound Workshop + Introduction to OB GYN Online Course

The first step is to enroll in one of our monthly workshops or schedule an onsite training at your location. The Introduction to OB GYN Ultrasound course is included and available immediately. You can begin learning right away. When you arrive to one of our hands-on workshops you already have a foundation in place. We systematically instruct you on how to locate, identify and capture diagnostic images for gyn and obstetric ultrasound exams.

We host monthly workshops in Monterey, California and Asheville, North Carolina. These are intimate workshops with only four students and an instructor. We begin with non-gravid pelvic scanning. This includes transvaginal and transabdominal scanning techniques. Building on these skills, we move to the first trimester, then second and third. There is room for individual instruction during your time with the patient. Practitioners arrive with different skills and objectives, so we can focus on your goals while you are scanning.
