It provides substantial clinical didactice coupled with afternoon small group, hands on training with talented ultrasonographers as instructors. We require it for all our PAs and every single one has come back raving about the experience. I just recently attended and it was a real confidence builder and was one of the most practical trainings I've attended.
I would strongly recommend Gulfcoast to any individual PA or EM group that needs ultrasound training!"
