What is the HOUSE OB Course?
The Hands-On Ultrasound Education Course (HOUSE OB) was designed specifically for rural health care practitioners who provide obstetrical care to patients. This course is comprised of a series of hands-on sessions designed specifically for rural physicians who provide obstetrical care to patients. Participants of the course dramatically improve their management of patients in the third trimester through the inclusion of hands-on sessions with live models. Instructors are all rural physicians who are experienced in bedside ultrasound administration.

What will I learn?
How to use bedside ultrasound to dramatically improve your management of patients in the third trimester by answering these specific questions: Is the fetal presentation head down? Is fetal cardiac activity present? Is the placenta a safe distance from the cervix? Is there a normal amount of amniotic fluid? Is there more than one fetus?

Skills Gained

As a result of attending this program, the participant will be able to: • Describe the role of ultrasound as an adjunctive tool to clinical exam and history; • Use ultrasound in a safe manner; • Manage the basic physics and instrumentation aspects of generating an optimal ultrasound image; • Demonstrate confidence in basic trans-abdominal scanning of third trimester pregnancy for limited indications; and • Recognize ultrasound features of a normal third trimester gestation.
