This professional master’s degree will train nurses in the use of Clinical Ultrasound, providing them with the necessary skills for professional practice”

Ultrasound is a safe, fast, reliable, innocuous and non-invasive test, well tolerated by patients, relatively low cost, and which has evolved into new, smaller and more accessible devices.

In the last 50 years, ultrasound has been extremely relevant to advances in healthcare, becoming an indispensable tool for health professionals when physically examining patients. This discipline has evolved in recent decades, from being restricted to Radiodiagnostic services, to being included in all healthcare environments.

Now, they have become a popular and valuable tool in guiding diagnostic and therapeutic interventions. They have also helped to increase the potential of Clinical Ultrasound, achieving a notable increase in its applications.

Primary care is undoubtedly one of the areas where Clinical Ultrasound is most widely used. Nursing professionals can benefit from Clinical Ultrasound to favorably influence diagnosing and treating different pathologies, improving patient safety, reducing waiting times and possible errors.

Undoubtedly, Clinical Ultrasound is a most opportune tool given it can instantly provide the right answers to the questions needed for better patient care.

In Clinical Ultrasound, there is a great dependence on the operator and the performance method, and numerous studies have shown the need and desire for regulated, specialized training on the part of practicing professionals.

The introduction of ultrasound scanners in Primary Care Centers has multiplied in recent years, leading different organizations to demand more training for a large number of family physicians in basic and advanced levels of ultrasound practice.
