Hands-On Cases
The SonoSimulator® provides you the opportunity to virtually scan real-patient ultrasound cases. Each Anatomy & Physiology module delivers a minimum of three normal (organ-specific) cases for hands-on training. The Thyroid: Anatomy & Physiology module provides a broad spectrum of adult male and female normal anatomy cases with varying body morphologies to maximize training efficacy. Each individual hands-on training case is accompanied by image window-specific expert instruction and probe-positioning guidance.Knowledge Assessment with Performance Tracking
Knowledge assessment questions incorporate United States Medical Licensing Examination (USMLE) and National Board of Medical Examiners (NBME) best practices and considerations (e.g., A-type questions). SonoSim’s content management platform promotes asynchronous learning and performance-based advancement.- 17 interspersed questions and answers with real-time feedback
