Wonderful training, I took away new information that will help me better serve my clients.
Learned a few new tricks using our ultrasound machine!
Shari focuses on what you need to know most. The how to and whys of limited US....how to do it right, and knowing why we do it that way. It was a great time of refreshing and renewal.
Shari did an excellent job at teaching and explaining how to perform limited OB ultrasounds. She taught and explained it in a way you could understand and that made sense. I was able to perform many ultrasounds with Shari assisting and teaching me every step of the way. She was very patient with me and upon completion of this training I felt more confident with scanning and I learned a great deal. I am very thankful to Shari for this excellent training!
Shari did a wonderful job with the training! I felt very prepared by the didactic portion before I came in for the hands on section. Shari was intentional about making sure that I understood the "why" behind everything we did. I also really appreciated her follow up after the course to give me feedback on my scans!
