Run a Basic Training program
ISUOG now offers universities and training institutions the opportunity to run an ISUOG Basic Training program. This is a flexible approach to accessing high quality education and the program can be delivered by your own faculty in your own time.
Basic Training aims to ensure that all scan providers are competent and that all women receive a high standard of gynecological and obstetric care.
In order to achieve its mission, ISUOG is developing a full Basic Training program, including theoretical and practical assessment and certification, with our Basic Training Task Force. ISUOG envisions a four step model of teaching, training, assessment and certification for trainees, with its courses being delivered on-site, online and via live stream.
