Why is learning ultrasound so important for those working in the obstetric or gynaecology fields?
It is our strong belief – regardless of curriculum requirements – that everyone working in the fields of obstetrics or gynaecology must understand ultrasound. Never mind the fact that your patients automatically associate ultrasound with your field of expertise, the nature of the specialty lends itself naturally to the procedural, diagnostic and treatment benefits that ultrasound can deliver. Regardless of its utility in your context, knowing what ultrasound can do, and how it can be applied is like a good shot of espresso coffee – once you get a taste you’ll want more. And more…
And once you get started it’s a no brainer that ultrasound skills will help you be a better health practitioner. In fact, ultrasound is recognised around the world as one of the most important skills you can develop to improve outcomes, save time and money (for you and your patient).
Unfortunately, most obstetricians and gynaecologists have a poor experience of training, which has often been delivered in a haphazard or scattered approach. More often than not training has been provided by peers or energetic enthusiasts in the workplace who can demonstrate the potential for ultrasound, but – while passionate – haven’t invested in their ability to teach the art and science behind it. Plus the compromises that we all know come from training at work means a less than ideal learning environment. This results in an elongated training process with few practical take away skills, no clear pathway to develop skills and ultimately disappointment.
But you can do something about this. In order for you to avoid the stressful ups and downs of learning ultrasound, having a strong foundation on which to build your skills and a clear plan in place to support your development is fundamental. That’s where we can help.
Skills development
Every ultrasound user must establish the skills fundamental to acquiring an image – from turning a system on and optimising the system setup, to patient positioning and ergonomics. We’ll give you the foundations for independent practice.
Scanning Skills
To get the most out of your efforts and before picking up a probe it’s important to identify your objective – do you have a purpose for scanning? Scanning for scanning’s sake isn’t optimal. When learning you need to engage in deliberate practice to develop your ultrasound skills. When applied clinically, you need to have the ability to define your needs, identify limitations and make decisions. We’ll help you focus on where you’re going and what you want to achieve.
Learning Pathway
Attending a course is one thing – making the time to develop your ultrasound skills and abilities is another. Learning ultrasound is a lifelong commitment – trust us, we know. Commit to invest your time before you start. Take time to remove practice barriers. Focus your time. Track your progress. Spend time developing skills out of the clinic. We’ll work with you to identify a pathway for skills development in your context.
Support
When you get back to the workplace, what’s next? Early enthusiasm to use ultrasound can soon fade to frustration when you return to the workplace, where the reality of clinical demands and often lack of ultrasound users can undermine your confidence. We can help by providing ongoing support, training and credentialing – as well as ongoing information through our free coaching corner and social media posts. We’re there for you.

We have so many systems here – from high end carts to handhelds – that in most cases there is a one-to-one ratio.

This ensures you are getting a no compromise sequential and structured education experience, all the while having the security and safety of learning with your peers.

“I attended the Advanced Emergency Ultrasound Course with Zedu Ultrasound and was extremely happy with my choice of training provider. The teaching is by brilliant Sonographers who are experts in their field. I was impressed at their ability to not only teach you the standard POCUS scans, but were fantastic at teaching you how to optimise your image, correct scanning issues, and set you on your way to integrate POCUS into your work. The communication was efficient, the food was lovely, and the atmosphere was pleasant.”

“Working with Zedu improved my scan techniques and speed of image acquisition. It really helped develop my techniques for teaching registrars and other colleagues. What I appreciated most about Zedu was the personalised approach and that the program was tailored to my need. Completing my logbooks for my CCPU (ASUM), it was great to have my images reviewed, assessments completed and to be able to scan a large number of patients in a short period of time.”
