Supplement your learning for the ISUOG Pre-Congress Course "From genetics to obstetric management: essential genetics in practice."
Thank you for joining the pre-congress course “From genetics to obstetric management: essential genetics in practice” course taking place in Singapore on Saturday, 20th April 2018, as part of the 28th World Congress on Ultrasound in Obstetrics and Gynecology. During this one-day course you will receive a full view of the approach to the normal brain and heart followed by a detailed discussion of common and rare malformations affecting these organs. This course will Improve your knowledge on fetal neurosonography, will help you get the routine scan right every time, and develop your ability to detect abnormalities using orthogonal planes. A hands-on demonstration and a final quiz will challenge your knowledge. Explore the topic before you attend our course.
