"I’ve taken an US course before, but nothing like this one. The 2 days of doing US on person after person really helped everything from the online modules to “click.” I know so much more than I did going into the course. Highly recommend if you even might need to use US for something. I verified my IUD placement and looked for placenta previa (diagnosed elsewhere), which I did find. Before I wouldn’t have known where the cervix was in US. It was also nice only having 4 students per group because we all got plenty time to practice plus lots of instructor feedback. Another nice thing that I didn’t know when I signed up: if you paid for the course at any point, you can always contact them for pointers/help or to remotely monitor your US skills if you wanted to do the certification."
"I learned way more at the ultrasound for women's health providers than I expected. I used some of the skills I learned THE VERY NEXT DAY I WAS IN CLINIC! Very relevant and wonderful training. Would recommend to anyone."
"The two-day course really helped to consolidate my knowledge and gave us all a lot of hands-on experience with patients. Michelle and Gay were great instructors - very knowledgeable and equally supportive!"
"This two day event was intense but so valuable for hands on learning. The instructors were knowledgeable and gave practical tips for getting the best pictures. I’m so glad I was able to attend and fully expect it to enhance my clinical practice."
"Great course, inspiring instructors, small groups, individualized attention. If you're a midwife or women's health provider and want to add more confidence to your use of ultrasound in your practice, this is for you."
"I had a great experience with this class. Michelle is an excellent instructor. I was super tired from a hectic week and was dreading a long class on my weekend, but I was pleasantly surprised with what a joy the class was! I found the content to be super interesting in the online learning portion and really enjoyed putting it into practice with the hands-on learning. Michelle is inviting, easy to learn from, and made the day really fun! Highly recommend this class."

"Ultrasound for Women's Health Providers is a great resource, especially if you do not have a local source for training. The online portion was easy to navigate. It is done in chapters so you can come back to it so you don't have to do it all at once. It was complete through all aspects of ultrasound in pregnancy & well woman check up. We also arranged to have a Hands on training and our instructor Nora was AMAZING. She was very kind and patient while we were learning new skills. She was very informative and we were able to get a lot of knowledge in, in 1 day. I highly recommend this course!"

"I learned so much at the hands -on clinic and had so many a-ha moments that clicked into place. I definitely need to perform a lot more scans to feel competent, but I feel like I walked away with the tools and understanding to get there with practice. Our instructor, Gay, is a lovely human being, and a wealth of knowledge."

The facility was amazing and accommodating and the ultrasound machines were so intuitive and easy to use. The instructors were very knowledgeable and I came home with the confidence to get my ARDMS check offs done."
