Meet our speakers
https://www.cranialultrasoundcourse.com/speakers
Dr. Cowan trained in medicine in Dublin, Ireland, qualifying in 1972 and went on to specialize in paediatrics and neonatology in the UK. Research in neonatal physiology with Prof Kenneth Cross lead to a PhD in Oslo, Norway, on the control of neonatal cerebral blood flow using Doppler techniques and collaboration with Prof Marianne Thoresen

WORK

Dr. Cowan worked for many years at the Hammersmith Hospital in London, UK with Dr Lilly Dubowitz and others in neonatal neurology, cranial ultrasound and MR brain imaging and neurodevelopmental follow-up.

EDUCATION

Throughout, teaching and mentoring have been a large part of her work and now in retirement, she continues to run a course in cranial ultrasound imaging and has. with Dr. Miriam Martinez Biarge, developed a website providing information on the Hammersmith neonatal and infant neurological examinations making them more readily as well as freely available worldwide.
She remains involved in other teachings, brain image reporting, PhD supervision, and advising on and helping with research projects.

RESEARCH & QI

Dr. Cowan is particularly interested in perinatal brain injury, its timing and risk factors, patterns of injury and their evolution, and the early determination of prognosis. A focus has been on the prediction of normality and severity of neurological abnormality trying to make the best use of investigations and resources, minimizing uncertainty for parents, and providing information for obstetricians.

NEONATAL CRANIAL ULTRASOUND COURSE
September 21-23, 2022
The Calgary Neonatal Neuro-Critical Care Program is excited to bring to North America the
well-established and highly praised Neonatal Cranial Ultrasound Course. This successful
course has been provided in the United Kingdom for over 20 years and is endorsed by the
Newborn Brain Society.
The inaugural North American course will be held from September 21-23, 2022, at
MacEwan Conference and Event Centre, University of Calgary, Calgary, AB,
Canada.
Guest speakers include Drs. Frances Cowan, Linda de Vries, Gerda Meijler and Sylke
Steggerda.
The comprehensive three-day course will offer lectures on neonatal cranial ultrasound and
brain injury, case studies, and hands-on ultrasound simulation. CME accreditation, under
Section 1, is being established.
For the best experience, join the course in person! A large venue is provided, and all current
health measures will be followed. Preferred rates for accommodations are offered for attendees
for a limited time, so register and book early to take advantage of this and the opportunity to
explore the Rockies and experience Western Canada’s hospitality. Virtual attendance option is
also provided for those who cannot attend in person.
Expand your learning experience by joining the one-day SCAN (Sonographic Clinical
Assessment of the Newborn) Workshop, which will be held at the same venue on September
20, 2022.
Registration closes on August 28, 2022.

Drs. Lara Leijser, Khorshid Mohammad and Hussein Zein
The Calgary Neonatal Neuro-Critical Care Program

The cranial ultrasound course has been conducted in London (UK) for over 15 years and is extremely popular. In addition to lectures, there will be hands-on cranial ultrasound sessions and a 1-day point-of-care ultrasound workshop by SCAN group.
