Faculty:

Dr. Supriya Seshadri is a highly accomplished Consultant Sonologist specializing in Fetal Medicine and Gynaecological Ultrasound, with 20+ years of experience. Renowned for her expertise in simulator-based training in fetal and gynaecological ultrasound, she has conducted numerous courses, programs, and workshops since 2019, imparting her knowledge and skills to many professionals in the field. She serves as the scientific coordinator and expert trainer for these programs and is known for her unhurried approach, generous, unconditional sharing of skills and knowledge with participants/trainees.

Her contributions also extend to content writing and proofreading, along with providing clinical support for machine learning and artificial intelligence applications in obstetrics and gynaecology. Additionally, she has contributed content for The International Society of Ultrasound in Obstetrics & Gynaecology [ISUOG] Basic Training e-Learning and the Advanced Training Curriculum.

Content: Theory and hands-on

• Ultrasound physics (practical knowledge)

• Methodology of 2D gynaecological scans

• Study of normal pelvic anatomy on 2D

• Study of abnormal pelvic anatomy on 2D

Key Benefits / Takeaways:

1. Theoretical Knowledge: The program provides evidence-based theoretical knowledge to complement practical training.

2. World-Class Scan Simulator: The program utilizes a state-of-the-art scan simulator to aid in ultrasound training.

3. Extensive Case Library: The simulator is loaded with a library of cases covering gynaecology, infertility, and early pregnancy scenarios, allowing participants to practice on a wide range of cases.

4. Hands-on Training: Participants are trained in probe orientation, probe movements and study of pelvic anatomy, both normal and abnormal.

5. Virtual Guidance: Virtual guidance is offered during scans to help participants achieve the correct scanning planes, measurements, and understand normal and abnormal morphology.

6. Individual hands-on practice: Practice time is extensive, and guidance is via the scan trainer as well as remote assistance by the faculty.

7. Remote Access: Participants have remote access to modules they have attempted, allowing them to review their learning.

8. Real-life Cases: The simulator includes real-life images thereby imparting a real-time experience.

Pedagogy:

This program offers a blend of classroom coaching, demonstration (DEMO) and hands-on simulation training to enhance practical skills in TVS scanning, diagnosis, and clinical decision-making.

Who should participate:

We've designed this program for medical professionals specializing in sub-fertility, infertility, IUI, IVF specialists and Obstetrics and Gynaecology practitioners.

Participant Benefits:

1. Allows sub-fertility and infertility specialists to improve their techniques without risk to real patients, helps builds confidence and competency.

2. Provides life-like pelvic anatomy and various clinical conditions, enabling specialists to encounter and learn to diagnose a wide range of fertility-related issues.

3. Improving their diagnostic skills, leading to better identification of subtle abnormalities that could affect fertility treatments.

4. Timely feedback, allowing specialists to correct their technique, optimize probe placement, and improve image interpretation, accelerating learning and proficiency.

5. Rework on cases as many times as you want, till you master them.

6. An option for post-program virtual mentoring, if needed.

End-of-program Assessment: The program culminates in an assessment of skills and knowledge gained during the course via cases on the simulator. Detailed interactive feedback on the same, is provided one on one by the faculty.

.Added to all the above advantages, participants might be offered exclusive discounts on institutional programs for other suitable knowledge and skill enhancement or fellowships such as Fellowship in Reproductive Medicine, Comprehensive Andrology Training Program (10 days), Fellowship in Clinical Embryology (12 months), IMA-AMS Fellowship in Infertility, Post Graduate Diploma in Clinical Embryology (12 months), RGUHS Fellowship in Reproductive Medicine (18 months), Mastering Egg Pickup [Oocyte Pickup; Ovum Pickup; OPU] and Non-Resident Fellowship in Infertility (12 months) etc enabling lifelong connectivity with the institution and allowing professional growth.
