Learning Labs

You have 8 opportunities to register and attend interactive Hands-on Learning Labs throughout UltraCon! In each of the 90-minute sessions, you can learn about and practice a variety of imaging and/or interventional protocols across several ultrasound specialties. Each Learning Lab offers you the opportunity for hands-on scanning blended with didactic lectures. We generally have a 4:1 ratio at the scanning stations. Seven of the labs include CME credit.
