45th Annual Advanced OB-GYN Ultrasound Seminar

Now in its 45th year, the Advanced OB-GYN Ultrasound Seminar continues to deliver high-quality and cutting-edge content to OB-GYN sonographers and physicians.

Led by Chairs Beryl Benacerraf, MD, FAIUM, and Alfred Z. Abuhamad, MD, FAIUM, this year’s seminar features the latest ultrasound principles and techniques to help you:

• Evaluate patients with pelvic pain;
• Predict whether an ovarian mass is benign or malignant;
• Improve detection of congenital heart disease;
• Find first-trimester anomalies; and
• Evaluate patients with Deep Infiltrating Endometriosis (DIE).

Plus a variety of other topics to help you assess fetal growth, identify multiple pregnancies, and diagnose gynecologic pathologies. And get answers to your questions with two dedicated Q&A sessions each day of the seminar.

Join your colleagues February 17–19, 2022, at Disney’s Yacht and Beach Club Resorts in Lake Buena Vista, Florida, for 3 days of knowledge, networking, and learning.

Can’t attend in person? Then participate virtually via our live-stream option. Live-stream participants can view the lectures, participate in the Q&A sessions with presenters, and earn the same amount of CME credits as those who attend in person.

Benefits of attending include:

• Earn up to 14.5 CME credits;
• Understand the latest OB-GYN guidelines and protocols;
• Improve detection of congenital heart disease;
• Apply new diagnostic techniques in your clinical practice; and
• Receive access to the full session recordings for 30 days following the course.

Pre-seminar Workshop: Principles of Sonography and Doppler Ultrasound (February 16)
Start your learning one day early to understand the operating principles of sonography and apply them diagnostically with improved expertise. Learn about the conventional pulse-echo principle, the modern virtual beam-forming principle, and more. This course is perfect for new ultrasound professionals as well as practicing physicians and sonographers who are interested in a review of the basic fundamentals. Earn up to 3.75 CME credits. Attend in person or via live stream.
