Fetal and Women's Imaging 2017: Advanced OB-GYN Ultrasound

World Class CME is again proud to host the annual Fetal and Women’s Imaging conference in Seattle, Washington. Benefit from the newest information in the field of ultrasound and gather the shiniest pearls of wisdom from our expert faculty. For those professionals who need detailed knowledge beyond routine fetal screening, this course teaches imaging during first, second and third trimesters, with an in-depth focus on screening each fetal body system. Many lessons are presented using a practical case-based teaching approach. Common and not so common gynecological imaging scenarios are also covered.

This course is designed for physicians and sonographers in the fields of gynecologic and obstetric imaging, as well as residents in obstetrics and gynecology, or radiology, and fellows in maternal-fetal medicine. This course may also be valuable to family physicians practicing obstetrics, advanced practice nurses and physician assistants working in gynecology and obstetrics.
