https://www.vetsurgeon.org/f/clinical-questions/24886/online-ultrasound-cpd---any-thoughts I&#39;ve done some practical abdo and cardiac ultrasound courses over the past few years, with the usual experience of doing well on the top end machine with the tutor there to help but less so once I get onto a machine back in practice!

We used to have a venerable ex-NHS machine that befitted my dynovet status and I used it to see if pups were viable during whelping (I don&#39;t need ultrasound for pregnancy diagnoses - I have things called hands) but when it died I didn&#39;t replace it. My logic is that it is probably not a good investment at my age given the number of times I am likely to use it and time spent going on courses is better spent on other CPD I would find more relevant. I don&#39;t believe that online courses would be very practical.</p> <p>Now if I was just starting out with my own practice ultrasound would be near the top of my shopping list as would be CPD courses but they would be practical not on-line based.</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>https://www.vetsurgeon.org/thread/165969?ContentTypeID=1Wed, 28 Sep 2016 22:46:07 GMT146601cc-3922-4be7-9974-7e1d4e45a66b:c7735f54-5fbf-40b9-90b3-cc49d12877baLiz w<p>Bcf technology have loads of free ones, so is it worth doing those first and then seeing what else you want to cover?</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>
