OBGYN Clinical Ultrasound Training

The use of pelvic ultrasound has important implications for the day-to-day practice of emergency physicians, primary care physicians, and obstetricians and gynecologists. OBGYN Clinical Ultrasound Training provides a brief review of female pelvic anatomy, embryology, and first-trimester fetal development. Both transabdominal and endovaginal ultrasound imaging approaches are detailed. Learn how to evaluate and diagnose various conditions sonographically, including different intrauterine and extrauterine pregnancies, ovarian cysts, and intrauterine devices (IUDs).

How it Works

SonoSim, The Easiest Way to Learn Ultrasonography®, uses a proven structure and method for learning ultrasound that combines:

  • A Didactic, Cloud-Based, Multimedia Course
  • Real-Time Knowledge Checks & a Mastery Test, &
  • A Series of Hands-On, Real Patient Scanning Cases Accessed with the SonoSimulator® Ultrasound Probe

CME*, a Certificate of Completion, an ultrasound image portfolio come with your module(s).

The SonoSimulator Ultrasound Probe is a one-time purchase and takes your learning experience to the next level with unlimited virtual scanning practice on normal and pathologic scanning cases via the SonoSimulator. License to each module is purchased in the first year, and maintained with an annual membership fee. Keep scanning and maintain all your member benefits, including annual access to all your modules, with your low annual membership fee of $295 (complimentary in your first year).

Course Highlights

SonoSim multimedia courses are didactic and incorporate in-course knowledge checks with real-time feedback. Each course concludes with a Mastery Test that is automatically graded.

The course in this module covers topics including:

  • Pelvic Anatomy
  • Sonographic Anatomy & Technique including Transabdominal and Endovaginal Techniques
  • Embryology & First-Trimester Pregnancy Evaluation
  • Diagnosing Pathologic Conditions such as Intrauterine and Extrauterine Pregnancies
  • Case Studies for Intrauterine Device ( IUD ), Ovarian Cysts, Molar Pregnancy & More
  • Pearls & Pitfalls in OB/GYN Evaluation with Ultrasound

SonoSimulator Scanning Cases

The SonoSimulator® helps develop and maintain the critical visuomotor and visuospatial skills that are central to image acquisition and interpretation with real patient imagery, expert tutorials on-demand, and real-time feedback on success.

The 20 real patient scanning cases in this module include and cover:

  • Patient Types: Adult Female Only
  • Relevant Findings/Pathology: Normal Early-Stage Pregnancy Patients (Fetal Pole & Yolk Sac); Normal Later-Stage Pregnancy Patients (10-week IUP, 12-week IUP, 13-week IUP); Incomplete Miscarriage Cases; Twin Pregnancy Case; Metrorrhagia Patient; Leiomyoma case; Complex Ovarian Cyst Case; Ectopic Pregnancy Patient; Uterus Didelphys Case
  • Transducer Types: Curvilinear, Transvaginal
  • Special Case Features: Anatomic Layer Removal

Continued Medical Education

Pelvic ultrasound is obviously invaluable for obstetricians and gynecologists, but it also has important implications for the day-to-day practice of emergency and primary care physicians. The OB/GYN: Core Clinical Ultrasound Module teaches the fundamental imaging principles and techniques required to evaluate the female pelvis using bedside ultrasonography. The course begins with a review of female pelvic anatomy, embryology, and first-trimester fetal development. Sonographic anatomy and sonographic techniques are discussed and include both transabdominal and endovaginal imaging approaches. Case studies are presented on commonly encountered obstetric and gynecologic conditions, including different intrauterine and extrauterine pregnancies, ovarian cysts, and intrauterine device (IUD) location. Learners develop OB/GYN sonography skills through 20 hands-on scanning cases from real patients.
