Have you ever wondered if live hands-on workshops are the best way to train sonographers on standardized sonography protocols? We asked that question with regard to appendix ultrasound exams and you might be surprised what our study shows! If you've ever wanted to learn how to teach sonographers in a way that sticks, conforms to their busy schedules, and improves their work-life balance, then you might want to hear this presentation. Not only will we show you what is possible even in remote locations where a sonologist is absent or where exams like appendix ultrasounds are uncommon, we will give you access to the training we've developed.
