Exciting start of our unique Mentorship PRO course.
I love teaching this way.

12 enthusiatic students,
5 highly experienced tutors,
8 high end GE machines.
10 months (once a month) focussing on developing their scanning skills, image interpretation and report writing. The mornings are dedicated to working on their ultrasound skills in small groups whilst afternoons involve patient scanning in our teaching clinic under close guidance.
It was a very intensive but rewarding first day, enjoyed by all in the group. Prout Bryant Ramsay Harris Laus Myers
