Introduction to the Ultrasound machine with Camilla Edwards
In this recording, I talk to Camilla about the most basic functionalities of the ultrasound machine. Ideal for those new to practice, returning, or simply wanting to start getting the hang of ultrasound, no matter how many years of experience.
Intro -
Dr Camilla Edwards DVM CertAVP MRCVS graduated from Vet School in Copenhagen, Denmark in 2006. She moved back to the UK and worked for a few years in mixed practice and small animal first opinion practice before spending 8 years in emergency work where she gained her Certificate in Advanced Veterinary Practice. In 2018 she set up her business First Opinion Veterinary Ultrasound (FOVU) where she works as a peripatetic ultrasonographer for practices near Cambridge. FOVU also offers online and in person ultrasound teaching and helps you decide which ultrasound machine is right for your practice through extensive reviews.
