We’re very proud to announce Professor Badreldeen and Asim Kurjak’s new book, the Donald School Textbook of Diabetic Pregnancy & Ultrasound.
IF some of the applicants do not complete the program within the defined period of time, they can continue in the next academic year. In these circumstances, they have to attend all the missing lectures and pass the separate exam and final exam.
Practical experience:
- 150 examinations under supervision in gynecology including early pregnancy.
- 150 examinations in obstetrics
Practical experience assessment:
- Log book, oral and practical examinations. The log book consists of
- 30 cases with image on one A4 page
- Minimum 20 fetal malformations and 20 gynecology cases
Master Degree: Advanced Ultrasound In Obestetrics And Gynaecology
The Postgraduate Fellowship program in Ultrasound in Obstetrics and Gynecology is designed to train personnel working in the field of Ob Gyn to efficiently use different forms of ultrasound. The objective of this unique program is to foster the rapid acquisition, integration and application of clinical knowledge to the practice of diagnostic ultrasound in Obstetrics and Gynecology.
This program offers extensive experience in the ultrasound assessment of high risk obstetric and gynecologic patients, as well as formal training and mentorship in clinical and translational research. The fellowship consists of lectures, seminars and hands on sessions.
Top world experts in the field, will give didactic sessions and state-of-the-art lectures on the use of basic and advanced ultrasound during the course doing 60% of the time. The remaining 40% of the curriculum is dedicated to hands-on sessions. The clinical experience enables the fellow to become proficient at ultrasound application in Obstetrics and Gynecology
The study consists of six modules.
Organiser : The Feto Maternal Medical Centre University of Medical Science and Technology Ian – Donald Interuniversity School of Medical Ultrasound
Duration Of Study : One year Acadmic
