Specialized Training
and Experience:
I have been performing
ultrasound examinations since 1999. Initially I attended intense, hands-on
training classes in Basic Ultrasound, Abdominal Ultrasound exams and Echocardiography.
Following this I trained with an ultrasonographer in the human medical field
for several weeks. I maintain my skills through regular didactic training
and reading, as well as practical experience with cases. In April 2005, I
spent one week at Purdue University studying abdominal ultrasound and echocardiography.
In January 2006, I studied Echocardiography with Dr. June Boon and Dr. Jan
Bright at Colorado State University. In October 2006, I attended the Advanced
Abdominal Ultrasound course at Universal Ultrasound in Bedford Hills, NY.
This course was taught by Dr. John Mattoon, author of the book, Small Animal
Diagnostic Ultrasound.
I am currently collecting case reports for International Veterinary Ultrasound
Society certification.
