Ultrasound Imaging for Nursing

We offer you the most complete education, delivered by the leading professionals in the field, in order to achieve the goal of providing quality practice that every nurse should be aiming for”

Diagnostic imaging has gone from being performed exclusively by external specialists to being included in the nurse-patient relationship, no longer as a complementary test but as a part of the physical examination. This program is aimed at providing up to date information on the use of ultrasound imaging as a tool to optimize diagnostic and therapeutic processes in patients in emergency situations. 

It must be taken into account that clinical ultrasound is a tool that helps to diagnose and treat patients in emergency situations or with intensive care needs. Today it is one of the most popular and valuable tools for guiding diagnostic and therapeutic interventions. In addition, it has the advantages of portability, accuracy, real time display, reproducibility and efficiency. 

Technological advances have made it possible to reduce the size of the equipment, making it cheaper and more portable, and have increased the capacity of clinical ultrasound, leading to a notable increase in its applications. Today, more accurate ultrasound diagnosis, safe ultrasound guided interventions, precise non-invasive hemodynamic evaluations and rapid assessment of traumatic injuries are all possible. 

In this Postgraduate Certificate, TECH offers students the most complete specialization program on clinical ultrasound, specifying its use in the care of patients who find themselves in emergency situations or those who need intensive care. Additionally, as it is a 100% online program, the student will have the opportunity to balance their studies with the rest of their daily commitments, so that they will be able to improve their level of training in a comfortable way.

Technological advances have led to improved ultrasound scanners, which are becoming more useful and can be used in more situations" 

This Postgraduate Certificate in Ultrasound Imaging for Nursing contains the most complete and up to date scientific program on the market. The most important features of the specialization are: 

• Clinical cases presented by experts in clinical ultrasound in emergencies and intensive care 
• The graphic, schematic, and practical contents with which they are created provide scientific and practical information on the disciplines that are essential for professional practice
• The latest developments in the use of ultrasound imaging
• Practical exercises where self assessment can be used to improve learning
• An algorithm-based interactive learning system for decision making in the clinical situations presented throughout the course
• Theoretical lessons, questions to the expert, debate forums on controversial topics, and individual reflection assignments
• Content that is accessible from any fixed or portable device with an Internet connection

This Postgraduate Certificate is the best investment you can make when choosing a specialist course for two reasons: you will acquire the best and most up to date education in ultrasound imaging and you will obtain a qualification from TECH Technological University”
