You will use complex ultrasound equipment to scan a diverse patient population, issue written reports, and discuss findings with patients and clinicians, including delivering distressing news compassionately.

Participation in student training is integral, with access to a state-of-the-art Ultrasound training room equipped with multiple phantoms.
