Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need prior ultrasound experience?
No. Our Foundations Course is designed for complete beginners and assumes no previous imaging experience. We start with fundamental concepts and build systematically to clinical competency.
How long does training take?
Most NPs complete the Foundations Course in 8-10 weeks with 3-5 hours of weekly study. You'll begin applying basic skills immediately, with competency developing over 3-6 months of practice.
