Workshop Information
This workshop combines 8 hours of online lectures with a 4-hour hands-on wet lab — structured so you arrive ready to scan, not just ready to learn.
The lecture series covers the core areas of veterinary POCUS: abdominal, pleural space and lung, and cardiac. Content is clinically focused and designed around asking the right questions, in a binary fashion, based on patient assessment — so you can apply what you learn from day one.
The Lab
The 4-hour practical lab is built around scanning live dogs in small groups. You will work through abdominal, thoracic, and cardiac POCUS techniques with direct instructor supervision, developing the pattern recognition and probe confidence that comes only from hands-on practice.
Phantom models are used for ultrasound-guided vascular access, allowing you to practise procedural techniques in a low-stakes environment before applying them clinically.
