MWU Workshops in Ultrasound

The workshops are a unique educational project created for physicians interested in developing their ultrasound skills in a practical as well as theoretical aspect. We make every effort to ensure the optimal number of participants so that we can carry out classes with patients in groups of up to five physicians per one ultrasound machine. Therefore, we do not intend to conduct courses for large groups since it would reduce not only the access to lecturers, but also the interaction during theoretical classes. In our workshops, we avoid sharing so called ‘textbook’ or ‘Internet’ knowledge and purely academic considerations in order to effectively present issues based on our own experience, images and findings shared with other centers in the world. We ensure that our view on education in ultrasound is unique and it is worth comparing with other experiences.

Our target group are physicians with various levels of expertise in ultrasound. We are convinced that each person, regardless of the experience in our classes, will learn something new and thus increase the quality of their examinations.

The aim of the course is to improve the diagnostic competence of examiners in the field of: –  practising ultrasound examinations during the classes with patients; – planning the diagnostic process and developing consulting skills at theoretical sessions enriched with an interdisciplinary formula.

What makes us unique on the ultrasound educational market:

We are for intellectual fair play

We respect the copyrights of domestic and foreign ultrasound specialists. Therefore, we base our classes on the collection of only our own images.

We do not “borrow” images or clips from other colleagues, foreign publications or catalogues of ultrasound manufacturers respecting their intellectual property.

Our experience in ultrasound didactics

We deal with modern teaching of diagnostic ultrasound using a synthetic method based on innovative interactive methods using phantoms for research, systems for voting and computer browsers of ultrasound images. We conduct innovative classes in the field of examination techniques, work ergonomics and image interpretation. Among other courses, we conducted 14 workshops on 3D / 4D / STIC techniques according to our unique formula, without using the patterns of other Polish and international schools of ultrasound. We have also developed a unique method of teaching a normal and abnormal fetal heart examination in cooperation with an outstanding child cardiac surgeon.

In addition to the MWU Workshops in Ultrasound, we conduct training sessions in the field of ultrasound for physicians as part of partnership programs in Poland and abroad, including:

Roztocze School of Ultrasound (R.S.U.) – partnership courses
NVU – New Vision Ultrasound from Romania
Innovamedi Lvov School of Ultrasound from Ukraine
European School of Perinatal Medicine (E.S.P.M)

mainly on modern techniques of ultrasound imaging, early anatomical examination and assessment of the fetal heart during the first trimester of pregnancy. We have so far participated as speakers in more than one hundred courses in ultrasound. Below you can find a list of the most important meetings which we participated in.

Tutors

We invited outstanding specialists from various fields of medicine to cooperate with us. Their lectures and comments are a perfect complement to our courses.

Our team

Our team consists of a group of well-qualified ultrasound specialists experienced in independent examinations and detection of fetal defects.

Organizers

A proper organization of our courses is ensured by our coordinator and a midwife.

Opinions:

At the end of the course, each participant is asked to fill in a questionnaire. All the opinions are a precious contribution, which helps us to constantly improve our workshops.
