What’s included in our unique abdominal ultrasound training and mentorship programme

In a nutshell, here’s what’s included in the ‘Sonographer on your Shoulder’ abdominal ultrasound training and mentorship programme.

1. A learning contract for you to complete at enrolment
2. Pre-and post course questionnaire to help measure your learning objectives
3. Access to the Aspire UCS comprehensive ‘The Full Monty’ online video course for 180 days 
4. Invitation to a regular weekly, hour-long, group mentorship virtual meetings led by an Aspire UCS Angel – Q&A, Technique Tips and Tricks and The Aspire UCS 8-Step Abdominal Ultrasound Technique
5. Access to a weekly 1:1 30 min ‘Turning Point’ virtual meeting to discuss any individual underlying niggles, concerns or queries
6. Six-month access to the ‘Aspire UCS 8-Step Abdominal Ultrasound Technique’ workbook, breaking down the remit of the full abdominal survey into manageable sections, ‘drip-fed’ over the duration of the programme (new step every 15 days), enabling you to build clinical confidence (open discussions on the practicalities of steps 1-8 covered during the regular weekly group mentorship meetings) – we plan on taking you from ‘ultrasound novice to nerd’!
7. Automatic invite into our ‘Sonographer on your Shoulder’ WhatsApp group, where we guide like-minded ultrasound users following their own learning journey.
8. Invitation to join the Aspire UCS Ultrasound Mentorship Forum on Facebook (if you’re not already in it!)
9. An invite to our FREE UK-based bi-annual 2-day face-to-face practical ultrasound skills workshop to endorse the techniques used when adopting the Aspire UCS 8-Step abdominal ultrasound technique – you won’t find these dates on the website ‘Events’ page, they are exclusive to this community. (Travel and accommodation costs are excluded.

Our belief is that we can support one-another even better as a community. You will belong to our closed group of Aspire UCS Angels, fellow ultrasound ‘novices and nerds’, a community in which sharing becomes learning and with learning comes confidence and clinical competence!
