About this one-day lecture and lab workshop:
Join us for a FAST-paced one-day workshop and master the basics of performing fast scans of the thorax and abdomen. In just five quick assessments, learn how to evaluate abnormal fluid and air and guide effective treatment. Perfect for the trauma patient or the medically unwell, our ultrasound-guided Fast scans can be easily incorporated into a routine physical exam. With little preparation needed and flexible patient positioning, these scans are an efficient and effective assessment tool that you can master with no prior ultrasound experience. Don't miss this opportunity to take your medical skills to the next level.
Who should attend?

Meet your instructor:
Gabby Swanton graduated from R.V.T. program at Centralia College and after 4 years in a busy emergency hospital, found her way to the Ontario Veterinary College. During her 25 years on staff at the OVC, Gabby enjoyed a number of different positions but found her true passion while part of the Diagnostic Imaging Department as an instructor and in ECC as a Triage technician. She has since been able to carry all of her experience gathered at the College into a successful teaching career.
