In a nutshell, here’s what’s included in the ‘Sonographer on your Shoulder’ abdominal ultrasound training and mentorship programme.
- A learning contract for you to complete at enrolment
- Pre-and post course questionnaire to help measure your learning objectives
- Access to the Aspire UCS comprehensive ‘The Full Monty’ online video course for 180 days
- 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
- Access to a weekly 1:1 30 min ‘Turning Point’ virtual meeting to discuss any individual underlying niggles, concerns or queries
- 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’!
- Automatic invite into our ‘Sonographer on your Shoulder’ WhatsApp group, where we guide like-minded ultrasound users following their own learning journey.
- Invitation to join the Aspire UCS Ultrasound Mentorship Forum on Facebook (if you’re not already in it!)
- 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!
