2021 Clinical Ultrasound - A CME Teaching Activity

This CME activity is a practical, clinically focused review of diagnostic ultrasound. A mixture of ob-gyn, abdominal, vascular, small parts and general lectures provide a well-rounded review of common clinical ultrasound procedures. Topics are presented in a case-based approach focusing on protocols, tips, and pitfalls to help expand clinical practice.

This CME activity is designed to educate those who order, perform, and interpret clinical ultrasound studies. It should be particularly valuable for diagnostic imaging physicians, ob-gyn physicians, vascular surgeons, and referring physicians who utilize ultrasound to evaluate the clinical status of their patients.
