Ultrasound: Office, Hospitalist and Emergency

A Seminar for Medical Office, Hospitalist and Emergency Ultrasound Training
CME Conference Description:

This course is being offered in conjunction with AAFP's 2010 RPS Conference for Faculty and Staff of Family Medicine Residency Programs. You do not have to attend RPS to attend the NPI course.

Decreasing costs of equipment, improved portability, imaging and technology, rapid diagnosis and patient satisfaction are a few of the reasons you’ll want to learn office, ER, and hospitalist ultrasound. Just as listening to the heart sounds with a stethoscope was “foreign” when you started as a medical student, ultrasound can be confusing. Let us show you how to begin and open a new world of diagnostics for your patients.

Application for CME credit has been filed with the American Academy of Family Physicians. Determination of credit is pending.
