International Ultrasound
Ultrasound has emerged as one of the most important diagnostic tools in the low and limited resource health setting. There exists a body of knowledge, skill set, modes of educational delivery, and research unique to this field. UC Davis has several past and ongoing collaborative projects that bridge the gap of global health and ultrasound. As a resident, fellow or faculty member you are encouraged to participate and make significant contributions.
