# OB GYN Hands-On Ultrasound Workshop Saturday, June 21, 2025 Asheville, NC
We have combined hands-on scanning sessions with online lectures and hands-on scanning videos to provide a comprehensive approach to learning OB GYN ultrasound.
Students will receive immediate access to online lectures to watch at their convenience before the hands-on session. These lectures include foundational information in ultrasound physics, anatomy, scanning technique, pathology, and terminology. Access to these lectures will be for one year.
The hands-on scanning session will occur at our Asheville, North Carolina, training center. All scanning sessions include a non-gravid or IUD patient and first through third-trimester patients. Transvaginal scanning on actual patients is included. We do have a phantom for practice but we feel that scanning on live patients provides the most benefit in learning the technique for endovaginal ultrasound. We begin with a transvaginal IUD patient to review scanning technique, anatomy and IUD location. We cover the first-trimester exam, including CRL measurements, M-mode, uterine position, ovaries, and adnexa. The second-trimester exam review depends on class demand. Third-trimester growth, biophysical, AFI, cervical length, and placenta location are included.
### Course Objectives
* Recognize basic ultrasound artifacts
* Discover common pathology and limitations of ultrasound
* Perform a basic non-gravid ultrasound exam
* Identify the uterus, ovaries, endometrium and cervix
* Identify an IUD
* Identify an intrauterine pregnancy and measure the crown rump length
* Identify the gestational sac and yolk sac
* Acquire an M-mode tracing of the fetal heart
* Perform a biophysical profile
* Measure the biparietal diameter, head circumference, abdominal circumference, and femur length for growth assessment
* Measure the amniotic fluid
* Identify the cervix and placental location
* Communicate in a culturally-sensitive manner to patients who refuse transvaginal ultrasounds and discuss available alternatives

Will I be scanning live patients?
Yes! We are proud to provide live patients at all stages of pregnancy. This includes transvaginal scanning in the first trimester. We also include IUD or non-gravid pelvic patients if the group is interested.
Can I take this course if I have never scanned before?
Yes! Our courses are small, which allows for customized instruction. Many practitioners arrive with little to no experience. This is an introductory course and we focus on the fundamentals of OB GYN ultrasound.
Can I take this course if I am not a CNM or MD?
Of course! We teach all medical practitioners. We even taught a group of paramedics how to perform point of care ultrasound.
Why is this only one day?
We only allow 4 students per course. This allows for maximum individual instruction and hands-on scan time. In a typical day we have at least eight patients. This allows for 15 minutes of scan time per student with each patient. The repetition, scanning patient after patient, provides confidence in scanning technique and interpretation.
Will I get enough hands-on scanning?
Can you help me with billing codes and protocols?
Of course! A full list of billing codes, protocols, scanning guidelines and interpretation guidelines are included in the course.
Do I get a certification after this?
You will receive a Certificate of Completion when you finish this course. This comes with 12 AMA Category 1 CME

The instructor was extremely knowledgeable, patient and offers so many different tricks to use to feel comfortable while scanning. This course was very helpful. The best part of the course was the small instructor/student ratio and hands on time we each had to see patients at various stages of their pregnancy. Both the on-line portion and the hands-on were effective ways to help me master knowledge and skills.

Hands on Learning in a Comfortable Environment - we could take our time and be corrected without FEAR! I learned how to find the cervix and more information about the buttons and controls on the machine. This course was amazing. The instructor was incredible. She was patient, caring, skilled and delivers corrective criticism a beautiful way!

Thank you for a wonderful day of Training! The instructor was wonderful, thorough and thoughtful. She covered the material we wanted to learn. I learned protocols for transvaginal sonogram and instructions on how to use the machine.

This training has made me feel so much more comfortable performing ultrasounds. The best part of the course is the hands-on practice. Being able to walk through the ultrasound technique was so helpful. The instructor was so patient with all of us and took the time to answer all of our questions and concerns.
Abbey,
The best part of the training is the personalized attention! I also thought that the repetition and the ability to ask questions was great. Thought it was a great training and so much more helpful than our hospital training.
