Module aim
Ultrasound Foundations and Safe Practice prepares health workers in Uganda to explain ultrasound physics and instrumentation, and select the right transducer, and builds from there to identify urgent findings and maintain quality assurance and infection prevention.
What you will be able to do
- Explain core concepts, professional responsibilities and limits.
- Use structured assessment and reliable practical tools.
- Apply evidence-informed decisions with safety, ethics and escalation safeguards.
- Adapt safely to realistic Ugandan resource constraints.
- Communicate, document, reflect and improve performance.
