Ultrasound Training for Physicians

In developing countries the utmost need is to maintain and increase levels of proficiency, entry-level training and continuing education to a supreme level. Universally, it is probable that a great deal of the Ultrasonography is presently carried out by individuals with inadequate training. Training should be a main concern, as a momentous benefit in health care will upshot from enhanced skills in the performance and interpretation of ultrasound examinations.

Need for Standardized Principles for Training

The apt training of the users of diagnostic ultrasound is indispensable for the up gradation and rational application of Ultrasonography in medical practice
  • Many Ultrasonography practitioners do not have satisfactory experience, and an even greater number would benefit from supplementary training.
  • A standard curriculum to guarantee the mastery of minimum essential skills has not been defined yet by any major healthcare institution.
  • The use of diagnostic ultrasound by individuals with poor knowledge and skills amplifies the odds of uncalled for patient examinations and poor diagnosis and inflicts additional costs on the health care system.
  • Because ultrasound scanning is operator-dependent, it is imperative that the Sonographer has proper training in order to achieve the expected diagnostic capabilities of the technique.
The skill of an effective scanning procedure depends hugely upon the operator’s credentials like:

  1. Clinical Know How: Perceiving what to look for, why and where, knowing how to interpret the manifestation on the image and an understanding of physiological and pathological processes.
  2. Technical Prowess: Knowing how to obtain the clinically most relevant images, familiarity with artifacts and evading the pitfall of scanning.
  3. Knowledge of the Equipment Technicalities: The operator must use the controls effectively. The operator should understand the restraints of the scan in terms of equipment potential, operator skills, clinical nuisances, patient restrictions etc. and take those grounds into account.

Taking forward all the above stated facts seriously into practice, Marvel group (a group associated with Mothers Pride Pre Schools, Presidium Senior Secondary Schools, Adiva Hospital etc.) has recently launched an academy devoted seriously for the technical up gradation of doctors known by, Wellwishers Academy.

The Academy is committed to make every effort for excellence and will always look for ways to add to the skills of the young doctors to make a difference in people’s lives. It also believes fervently in the advances that ultrasound has brought to Clinical Medicine.
