Hands-On Abdominal Ultrasound Imaging & Doppler

A Three Day Guided Experience

Learn with Confidence. Scan with Precision.

With the right approach, abdominal ultrasound becomes understandable, repeatable, and reliable.

Get Here. Learn It. Practice It. Serve.

When Anatomy Begins to Speak.

Learn to acquire, analyze, and trust abdominal ultrasound findings through live scanning, direct faculty guidance, and structured repetition—exactly as ultrasound is used at the bedside.

Step into a warm, supportive learning environment designed especially for motivated healthcare professionals like you. In this immersive, hands-on course, you’ll build a complete and reliable ultrasound protocol—one that helps you capture every essential image and understand the why behind each step. Our focus is respectful learning, practical skill-building, and deep confidence at the bedside.

From day one, you’ll be scanning—supported by faculty who are dedicated to your success.

It's about small-group learning, hand-to hand, eye to eye. And when the day ends, the Scan Lab is yours all evening to practice independently or with class peers. And after the course? Our deep mentoring support continues—free for life.

Why This Course Matters—You'll Transform the Unseen Into Understanding.

The abdomen is a complex landscape of organs, spaces, and fluid dynamics—and static images rarely tell the full story. This course matters because it teaches you to move beyond snapshots and into pattern recognition informed by respiration, peristalsis, and physiologic context.

By guiding you through live scanning, structured repetition, and immediate feedback, you’ll gain the ability to confidently differentiate normal variants from clinically significant findings, improving bedside diagnosis, triage, and patient guidance. This is what builds career equity.

What Makes This Course Different.

This Course is different because it removes intimidation without sacrificing rigor. We teach ultrasound as a physical, logical skill—built through pleasant one-on-one leading, not watching from the rear.

Nothing is assumed. Every image is explained. Doppler is introduced as a natural extension of anatomy and physiology, not an advanced add-on.

We've never forgotten what it's like to learn--particularly away from home. We'll respect your goals and support your efforts at every step while you're here, and we'll mentor you for life.

What You'll Be Able to Do Clinically.

By the end of this hands-on vascular ultrasound course, you will be able to:

  • Acquire and optimize arterial and venous ultrasound images with nationally standardized technique.

  • Apply the various types of Doppler using all controls to evaluate flow direction, velocity, and physiologic change.

  • Interpret Doppler spectral patterns as indicators of underlying hemodynamics in any vessel.

  • Distinguish normal variants from clinically significant vascular pathology.

  • Perform focused assessments for stenosis, occlusion, thrombosis, and abnormal flow states.

  • Integrate vascular findings into real-time clinical decision-making based on patient history, signs and symptoms.

  • Communicate observations clearly using physiologic reasoning rather than rote terminology.

This course emphasizes understanding what blood flow is doing—not simply where it is.

How Each Professional Benefits By Attending.

All Allied Health Professionals.

You’ll return to your clinical setting with a strong head start—continuing learning while earning, not spending a year in a classroom.

Sonography Student Graduates.

If your studies focused on cardiovascular ultrasound, expanding into soft tissue imaging opens more career pathways and strengthens your résumé for today’s team-based care.

Physicians.

Launch your patient's triage immediately. Mastering a broader perspective with point-of-care ultrasound shortens decision time and supports value-based care, translating into more time saved—and more lives improved.

Veterinary Clinicians.

Sharpen your hand-eye coordination and scanning strategy to confidently evaluate soft tissues and blood flow patterns.

Research & Medical Device Professionals. Research, Engineering, Marketing, Sales, Management, Applications, Service Engineers

Enter the mind of the end-user the best way possible and add new perspectives. Build the skills to evaluate organ structure and perfusion accurately—improving how you study, design, or support medical technologies.

Our Approach.

Ultrasound skill is built through guided experience, not passive observation. Instruction centers on live scanning, immediate feedback, and repeated practice—so technique, interpretation, and clinical reasoning develop together.

We teach in tiny groups to allow faculty to adjust instruction in real time, responding to each learner’s background, pace, and questions. Concepts are revisited from multiple angles, with real-world explanations, helping understanding take root quickly and remain reliable under clinical pressure.

The emphasis is not on memorizing images or following rigid protocols, but on learning how to think at the bedside—recognizing patterns, understanding physiology, and making deliberate decisions that translate directly to patient care.

There's no written test—just continuous encouragement and hands-on coaching to help you grow.

Course Details at a Glance.

  • Format: Live, in-person, hands-on instruction.

  • Length: 3 days, Friday-Sunday (9am - 4pm, Adjourn by 3pm Sunday).

  • Location: Las Colinas→ (City of Irving, Dallas–Fort Worth area).

  • Class Size: Intentionally limited to four attendees for scan time and faculty access.

  • Scan Lab: Open access for extended practice.

What Our Participants Said.

The overwhelming majority described the experience as excellent, transformational, and more effective for them than other national ultrasound courses.

Students repeatedly mention they learned more in a few days than in months elsewhere.

About CME Credit.

This course does not offer CME credit—by design.

That choice allows us to teach with complete flexibility, adapting instruction to your background, pace, and clinical goals rather than a committee's preset agenda.

Our focus is hands-on skill development, clinical reasoning, and lasting bedside confidence. Many clinicians choose to pair this experience with separate CME activities that align with their own professional requirements. If we can help direct you to such low- or no-cost CEM resources, we'lll be delighted to assist.

Questions before you decide?

We're happy to help- you think it through.

Your decision is transformational. Ask us anything and get a straight answer. We want to address your every question, because You and what you’re about to do are important.

Your Next Step Is Closer—and Brighter—Than You Think.

You've come so far already don't quit.

You’ve considered the most demanding parts: the time apart from the people who matter, the disruptions of travel, the honest moments of doubt, and the uncertainty we all feel when something truly matters. Here, you are safe. Here, you are supported. And what you gain will elevate you, your family, and your patients for years to come.

It would be easier—and much more hollow—to simply turn on the TV or computer and watch a video. But every lasting accomplishment comes by doing. You don’t learn ultrasound skills sitting on your hands.

Start your success now—without hesitation:

Your Journey is already underway.

We’ll meet you in the Scan Lab soon—and at the Bedside for the rest of your career....
