doc2B Posted October 24, 2011 Report Share Posted October 24, 2011 Hi everyone, We are looking for female volunteers for an Emergency Medicine Ultrasound course in Halifax on November 30th, 2011. This would be a full-day commitment and would be a great opportunity for students planning on a career in medicine. You would be volunteering as a non-pathological model. You would be having abdominal ultrasounds performed on you by training physicians and residents. It's a great opportunity to learn about Emergency Bedside Ultrasound as well as basic anatomy. It doesn't hurt and it's non-invasive. If you are interested or know of someone interested please send me a message and I will give you more details. Please include an email address for contact in your private message so I can better get in touch with you. Thanks, doc2B Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thehumanmacbook Posted October 24, 2011 Report Share Posted October 24, 2011 Why not just get the Standarized Patients to do it for you :S Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thehumanmacbook Posted October 25, 2011 Report Share Posted October 25, 2011 Standardized patients aren't volunteers. Just interested to why they wouldn't get SPs to do this sort of medical training... But a warm body is a warm body. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
w8kg6 Posted October 25, 2011 Report Share Posted October 25, 2011 SPs are mostly used as actors to learn a case, a patient presentation, and symptoms/signs relevant to the condition they're pretending to present with. Also, they're payed. Since none of the acting is needed here, SPs wouldn't be any more beneficial than another volunteer, but they would certainly be more expensive.

doc2B Posted October 26, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 26, 2011 Plus it's not put on by the medical school it's a course administered by the Canadian Association of Emergency Physicians, they wouldn't have access to the SPs. I still need volunteers however, there's food provided and it's a great learning opportunity. Cheers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
