Ultrasound in Obstetrics & Gynecology: Innovative Practice for Advancing Health, will be held over 3 days on the UF Campus and will be delivered by UF and non-UF faculty. Our program will target physicians in practice, physicians in training and sonographers with both cutting-edge and current practice topics. It is designed to be practical and to give the participants tools to improve their practice and to understand the future direction of ultrasound for women’s health. While the primary delivery of content from the conference is designed to be in person participation, we will offer a hybrid option to expand the ability of others around the globe to join in participation.
