Where are the workshops run?  We run workshops at a range of venues — or we can come to your clinic and train your team directly.

​

Do we need to have our own ultrasound machines? No, you don't need to bring your own ultrasound machines. We provide them for the workshops.

​

What live dogs are used? We use live volunteer dogs. These dogs ideally weigh between 10-20 kg, are lean, and amenable to gentle handeling.

​

How many participants are needed for a workshop? Our hands-on workshops run with a maximum ratio of 4 participants per instructor, ensuring direct supervision and individual feedback throughout the session.

​

What time can workshops be run? Workshops can be scheduled to suit your clinic. Contact us to discuss timing.

​​

Do I need to take the online course? Yes — hands-on training is available only to those who have completed the online lecture series and passed the associated test. Please complete the online course before registering for a workshop.

​

How much does a workshop cost? The online lecture series is $300 CAD, purchased through Calgary Veterinary POCUS Academy.

For hosted in-clinic workshops, the hands-on fee is $850 AUD per person. 

For scheduled public workshops, pricing is set by the host venue — see the registration link for details.

​

Do I need any prior ultrasound experience? No prior experience is required. The online lecture series and hands-on workshop are specifically designed for veterinarians at any stage of their POCUS journey.

​

Will I receive a certificate on completion? Yes — a certificate of completion is issued for the hands-on workshop. CPD hours are allocated based on your state veterinary board requirements — you will be asked to confirm your state on registration.

The online lecture series provides 8 hours of RACE-approved CE on completion, issued through Calgary Veterinary POCUS Academy.
