• The presential part is designed to promote the contact between the course participants in addition to allowing a direct contact with the course directors and other experts in fetal medicine in order to share their experience and vision on the integration of ultrasound in fetal medicine and on modern fetal medicine in general. It consists of:
  • Meet the professor: Sessions 4 hours of exposure to practical aspects moderated by professors from Fetal I + D Education, with open discussions at the end of the sessions with participation of the course directors most of the days.
    • Ultrasound, Screening
    • Fetal cardiology including echocardiography, therapy and fetal cardiac function.
    • Prenatal diagnosis of chromosomic and genetic diseases
    • Brain imaging and fetal neurology
