Open Scan Labs — Live Model Practice with Technologist Guidance
Open Scan Labs give clinicians who have prior ultrasound exposure—or who have completed a Hampton Roads Ultrasound course—structured time to practice on live models in our facility with registered sonographer/technologist guidance. This is a high-yield way to sharpen probe handling, anatomy recognition, image optimization, and workflow speed in a realistic, supervised environment.
What’s Included
- Supervised scanning on standardized/live models at the HRU facility
- Guidance from registered sonographer(s) on windows, optimization, and ergonomics
- Focus on practical anatomy & common pathologies encountered in POCUS
- Practice across areas such as AAA/aorta, cardiac windows, DVT venous mapping, renal/bladder, hepatobiliary/IVC, soft tissue/MSK, thyroid, testicular, and pelvic (as permitted by policy)
- Skills checklists and documentation templates on request
- Small-group ratios to maximize hands-on time
Ideal For
- Clinicians who completed HRU courses and want continued practice
- Providers preparing for internal credentialing or proctoring
- New hires onboarding to POCUS workflows
- Residents, PAs, NPs aiming to increase case volume under guidance
Sessions emphasize ALARA principles, chaperone policies as required, and patient comfort & privacy standards appropriate to modeled scenarios.
