Optional Ultrasound Training

(no extra cost involved)

The increasing use of diagnostic ultrasound in urology indicates even greater importance for the urologists to demonstrate proficiency in performing and documenting studies. This optional course is designed to provide urologists with the knowledge and skills for performing urologic ultrasound with a focus on renal and bladder. There will be a combination of didactic training, hands-on instruction and evaluation of proficiency.

The schedule and related credits for this training is as follows:

• Didactic Training
  Friday, October 19, 2007 from 12:30 PM to 2:00 PM
