To be a model for Year 2 and 3 MBBS students to perform transthoracic echocardiogram (TTE), pleural ultrasound and abdominal ultrasound. The session is supervised by healthcare professionals trained in ultrasound who will act as facilitators and tutors instructing on ultrasound technique. You will be required to lie on a couch for up to 2 hours with the torso and abdomen exposed so the students can practice performing ultrasound on your chest wall or abdomen. This task involves application of ultrasound gel to an ultrasound probe that will be positioned at key landmarks on your chest and abdomen to visualise the heart, lung and abdominal structures. The facilitator will demonstrate how to obtain images of your heart/lung/abdominal organs using surface landmarks on your torso and abdominal walls before allowing the students to operate the probe and practice obtaining the same images. Your two hour session consists of 4 shorter rotations of 30 minutes each with approximately 10 students per rotation.
This event takes place on Thursday 10th July and you are required from 3:30pm-5:30pm at Guy's Campus, Shepherd's House, Chantler Centre.
