The specific objectives are to acquire technical competence to explore with Doppler the uterine, umbilical and middle cerebral arteries, as well as the ductus venosus. To acquire knowledge on the appropriate management of growth retardation and pre-eclampsia, both in their early and late forms.
Methodology
All presentations are based on real clinical cases that serve to consolidate the learning of essential concepts. The classes consist of a video that can be accompanied by practical ultrasound demonstrations or explanations of the corresponding topics and PDF presentations. The teaching staff is made up of medical personnel from the Maternal-Fetal Medicine Service of the Hospital Clínic de Barcelona.
Evaluation
The presentation of the topics will be structured on the basis of problem solving through the essential theoretical content. The development of each topic will follow a clinical outline and will use images and videos. At the end of the presentations, the student can obtain a certificate of completion of the theoretical training and pass the knowledge acquisition test. Once the knowledge has been acquired and in order to obtain the certificate, a multiple-choice test must be taken. For the validation test you have 3 attempts and must answer 70% of the answers correctly. Each time you enter the test, even if you do not answer any questions, it counts as an attempt.
