Workshops
fuer Teilnehmer deutschsprachiger Kurse

  Die 2-taegigen Workshops an den angegebenen Universitaets-Augen-
kliniken finden jeweils von 9 Uhr bis 16 Uhr mit einer einstuendigen
Mittagspause und kurzen Kaffeepausen statt. Die Teilnehmerzahl ist
beschraenkt (maximal 5 Teilnehmer an jeder Untersuchungseinheit mit je
einer Lehrkraft). Alle in der Standardisierten Echographie angewandten
Untersuchungstechniken werden an Patienten durchgefuehrt. Die
Workshops entsprechen den Richtlinien der Kassenaerztlichen
Bundesvereinigungund erfuellen die Bedingungen fuer den
Abschlusskurs in Ultraschalldiagnostik.
Die vorherige Teilnahme an einem Kurs ueber Standardisierte Echographie
ist Voraussetzung fuer dieTeilnahme an einem der Workshops.
