THEORETICAL AND PRACTICAL TEACHING OF DIAGNOSTIC ULTRASOUND
Accurately assessing ultrasound findings and making a precise diagnosis can sometimes be challenging. When dealing with complex or rarely encountered clinical cases, even experienced specialists may benefit from a second opinion.
The Mentorship programme provides professionals with direct access to an experienced mentor for ongoing communication. The programme is led by Dr. Saulius Rutkauskas, a Consultant Radiologist with over 18 years of clinical experience and more than 26,000 ultrasound examinations performed across varying levels of complexity.
Participants in the programme may submit clinical cases or queries related to their ongoing investigations to Dr. Rutkauskas at any time and receive expert feedback. Additionally, a monthly online session is held, during which thematic discussions and participant-specific topics are addressed.
This programme is ideal for specialists who value collaborative practice, seek to refine their skills, and aim for the highest diagnostic accuracy.
