This is a targeted educational package for practitioners that will give them the detailed knowledge required to become competent at clinical ultrasound and echocardiography.
Personal Ultrasound (UltraScan)
The use of portable bedside ultrasound machines is dramatically changing patient assessment and management in the peri-operative, anesthesia, critical care, emergency medicine, surgery and internal medicine fields. It is being rapidly adopted as mainstream practice.
The aim of the Personal Ultrasound (UltraScan) Courses is to provide topic focused educational courses in specific learning areas. These short courses are cost and time effective with the average learning time of 1 month for a single course or 3 months for a package course.
Certificate of Completion will be sent via email upon all assessments and case studies are completed.
These courses provide flexible eLearning so students can study when and wherever convenient. Course materials can be accessed through the iTeachU app on smartphones and tablets with iOS, Android or Windows systems. Once the course materials have been downloaded on smartphones and tablets, all the interactive media content can be viewed offline (however internet access is required periodically to login or re-verify login credentials). Course materials can also be accessed online using a web browser.

UltraScan Package 2: Regional, Lung and Vascular Modules
The first series introduces the student to basic transthoracic echocardiography. Tutorials show how to perform a transthoracic echocardiography examination, how to assess basic haemodynamic state, and how to use two-dimensional and colour flow Doppler modalities to identify significant valve disease.
UltraScan Package 3: TTE Echocardiography Modules
The first series introduces the student to basic transthoracic echocardiography. Tutorials show how to perform a transthoracic echocardiography examination, how to assess basic haemodynamic state, and how to use two-dimensional and colour flow Doppler modalities to identify significant valve disease.
UltraScan Package 4: TEE Echocardiography Modules
The first series introduces the student to basic transthoracic echocardiography. Tutorials show how to perform a transthoracic echocardiography examination, how to assess basic haemodynamic state, and how to use two-dimensional and colour flow Doppler modalities to identify significant valve disease.
UltraScan Package 5: Advanced Clinical Ultrasound Modules
The first series introduces the student to basic transthoracic echocardiography. Tutorials show how to perform a transthoracic echocardiography examination, how to assess basic haemodynamic state, and how to use two-dimensional and colour flow Doppler modalities to identify significant valve disease.
UltraScan – Ultrasound Physics and Anatomy of the Heart
The focus of this course is to learn detailed anatomy of the heart and coronary arteries, as well as the heart valves. An overview of the physics, basic modes of ultrasound, and how to optimise images are taught. This course will add breadth of understanding to the use of clinical ultrasound and echocardiography.
UltraScan – TTE Introduction & Case Interpretation Series 1
The first series introduces the student to basic transthoracic echocardiography. Tutorials show how to perform a transthoracic echocardiography examination, how to assess basic haemodynamic state, and how to use two-dimensional and colour flow Doppler modalities to identify significant valve disease.
UltraScan – TTE Case Interpretation Series 2
This course is one of several TTE case study series with a mix of pathology. Each of these series contains 10 transthoracic echocardiography case studies for participants to practise interpretation and reporting. These series do not have to be completed in order. Participants can choose any one or more series to study.
UltraScan – TTE Case Interpretation Series 3
