Primary Care

The Primary Care Ultrasound course equips general practitioners with essential point-of-care imaging skills for efficient, confident patient assessments. Through this training, clinicians will integrate ultrasound into everyday practice—performing focused scans during routine visits to guide diagnosis and treatment decisions. Core modules focus on abdominal screening (e.g., gallbladder, kidneys, bladder), bladder volume measurement, thyroid assessment, basic OB/GYN scans (early pregnancy checks), musculoskeletal evaluations, and vascular exams like carotid and DVT screening.

Learners will become proficient in handheld ultrasound systems such as the Vscan Air and entry-level carts like Versana, learning probe selection, image optimization, and AI-assisted tools such as automatic ejection fraction and anatomy guidance. The course emphasizes bedside workflow integration: scanning in clinic rooms, documenting efficiently, and determining when referral for advanced imaging is necessary. Participants will practice using scan protocols, analyzing images for common conditions, and communicating findings effectively with patients.
