2-day Specialist Only Training Program
 
Not Your Typical Ultrasound Lab. And That’s the Point.
 
Join SonoPath in beautiful Fort Collins, CO at Colorado State University for a small, high-level SDEP® experience built exclusively for boarded and boarding internists. This is where standard scanning stops and intentional, repeatable diagnostic efficiency begins.
 
Instructors/Speakers: 
Dr. Eric Lindquist, DMV (Italy), DABVP (Canine & Feline), Cert. IVUSS, Found & CEO of SonoPath
Dr. Remo Lobetti, BVSc, MMedVet, PhD, DECVIM
Additional special guest speakers in the field of Internal Medicine.
SDEP® Certified Clinical Sonographer Instructors
 
**Prerequisite: for currently in the process of boarding or currently boarded internists of ACVIM & ABVP only
 
Course Overview:
Over two focused days, you will move between advanced clinical lectures and tightly coached, hands-on labs designed to refine how you think and scan. With only 30 places available and a true 3:1 attendee-to-instructor ratio, this is learning in real-time calibration with world-class instructors who do this every day.
 
Why This Lab:
It is small by design: 30 attendees max
3:1 coaching for immediate feedback & constant refinement
SDEP® in practice: See what you’ve been missing, and why
Specialist-level pathology: GI, adrenals, obstruction, and beyond
Applicable learning: SDEP® is built for how internists practice
Advanced lectures: work through real pathology with expert guidance
Expect 6 hours of hands-on scanning: properly, repeatedly, and with purpose
Candid discussions on integrating ultrasound into specialty workflows both clinically and economically
Pressure-test your technique against SDEP® standards
Leave with a protocol you can put into use on Monday
 
Learning Objectives:
By the end of this course, you will be able to:
Recognize and interpret common abdominal sonographic pathology patterns
Integrate ultrasound findings into clinical diagnostic reasoning and case management for cardiovascular thoracic, and abdomen regions
Differentiate neoplastic vs. non-neoplastic sonographic presentations
Apply advanced abdominal scanning techniques with improved efficiency and confidence
Identify sonographic changes associated with GI, urinary, adrenal, hepatic, pancreatic, shunts and splenic disease
Understand the sonographic implications of electrolyte disturbances, anemia, and systemic disease
An understand ultrasound-guided sampling techniques
Improve image optimization and pathology visualization in advanced cases
Evaluate portosystemic shunts and understand shunt management principles
Apply practical decision-making when choosing between CT and ultrasound diagnostics
Expand scanning capabilities by thinking about small parts imaging, including ocular, thyroid, and parathyroid ultrasound
