Abstract
Ultrasound is a safe and noninvasive imaging procedure commonly used in clinical practice. A workshop was conducted at this meeting that involved hands-on ultrasound experience for the delegates with expert clinicians. Participants in small groups rotated through three or more stations of their choice during the workshop. The stations were based on the five anatomical regions that were thorax, abdomen, upper limb, lower limb, and neck. At the start of the session, participants had a brief demonstration of using ultrasound innovatively in each of the stations by clinicians. They were informed of its clinical relevance or applications. Participants were encouraged to use ultrasound appropriate to their learning needs on a volunteer and identify anatomical structures under expert guidance. All participants got an opportunity to perform the ultrasound guided needle challenge on a simulator toward the end of the session. It enabled participants to apply their knowledge and skills gained during the workshop and test themselves. The feedback for the workshop was very positive. The themes that emerged on evaluation were that it was useful, great workshop, enjoyable, informative on clinical application of ultrasound and its growing importance, provided excellent hands-on experience, helpful for beginners, and relevant to their previous experience.
