4. After completing our emergency medicine ultrasound course, participants will be able to successfully perform a trauma FAST exam. Our goal is to deliver a FAST exam ultrasound training course that instructs participants on the proper way to evaluate trauma patients for abnormalities around the heart and abdominal organs in those first critical moments. We also cover the important distinctions involved with scanning patients with special circumstances, such as first trimester pregnancy patients and catheter patients.
Our course begins with lecture, continues with case studies and concludes with hands on scanning. Hands on scanning is important because it helps patients gain an understanding of variations in scanning protocols. Our hands on scan labs are designed for participants to practice the essential skills and techniques to acquire an ultrasound image for quick and accurate diagnosis. The practice is done on live models, which is just one factor that makes our FAST exam ultrasound training unique. Thanks to this high quality class model, AHEC is a destination for physicians from all over the world.
