    I recently completed the ultrasound training course, and I found it to be incredibly beneficial. The instructor was knowledgeable and engaging, making complex concepts easy to understand. The sessions were particularly valuable, allowing us to apply what we learned in real-time visually. The course materials were well-organized and comprehensive, covering all essential topics. While there were minor technical issues with the probe maneuvers and images displayed, the overall experience was excellent. I left feeling confident in my skills and ready to apply them in a clinical setting. Highly recommend it to anyone looking to enhance their ultrasound expertise!

    It was a great journey. I've learnt a heavy hard topic through a wounderfull process. And I really enjoyed the online course. I thought it was well planned and layed out, easy for me to follow. The work load(h.w. & test)was just enough, so i could finish everything with enough time, learn about the topics and not feel over loaded and rushed.

    I could know the technical aspects to image the internal abdominal organs. With my clinical day to day practices I Will improve it. Precious technique is needed to find all aspects of structures to see. Positioning in various positions are needed to see clear views of each vascular solid and internal organs and tissue plains

    Its good for someone has ultrasound knowledge and looking to correct some positions but at all It's some fundamental positions for ultrasound , the title just misleading.
  • MAH NOOR ILYAS
