UK Postgraduate in Obstetric Ultrasound

It is an International Part Time course in Obstetric Ultrasound, in a partnership with Lifeway Training Center Sharjah, UAE and Glasgow Caledonian University (GCU), Scotland UK.
 

All the candidates will undertake exactly the same modules as the on-campus students back in the UK and therefore will achieve the same educational learning outcomes and practice experience. It will be taught by tutors who come to the UAE from the GCU university in three separate teaching blocks within the year, which consist of four-day classes in each block. The third block is usually held at the end of each year as a clinical assessment. 
 

These teachings are held onsite at the Lifeway Training center and attendance is mostly only required during those classes, otherwise, candidates shall continue practicing scanning within their workplace and occasionally send updates and images for review of progress. The program not only includes clinical training but also assignments, reflections and assessment processes, however, constant support is always provided by the staff and doctors from the training center throughout the program year to help get through the workload. 
 

Its a 3-year program:
1st year--> Postgraduate Certificate Course   60 credits
2nd year--> Postgraduate Diploma Course     120 credits
