Join Dr. Greg Lisciandro in Boston for the ABVP Symposium!

During our hands-on Ultrasound-Guided Procedures Workshop you’ll develop proficiency in:

✔️ Accurate probe positioning and needle guidance (in-plane & out-of-plane)
✔️ Fine needle aspiration and vascular access (modified Seldinger technique)
✔️ Thoracostomy tube placement and autotransfusion
✔️ The “3 centesis” procedures: abdominocentesis, thoracocentesis, and pericardiocentesis

Ready to take your skills even further? Learn the essentials of Global FAST®—a powerful, standardized approach that combines AFAST® (abdomen), TFAST® (thorax), and Vet BLUE® (lung) into one efficient, patient-first imaging protocol. In this Hands-On Workshop (HOW), you’ll learn how to confidently perform a low-impact, first-line ultrasound exam—no shaving required—using right lateral and standing positions.

Both of these workshops are designed to give you practical, immediately applicable skills you can bring back to your clinic the very next day.

👉 Spots are limited—register for the conference today and secure your seat in both ultrasound workshops! https://mjbmgmt.swoogo.com/abvp2026
