UAG School of Medicine hosted its first Abdominal X-Ray & Ultrasound Workshop for second-semester students, providing hands-on training with real equipment to apply anatomy knowledge and develop early clinical skills.
In a major milestone for early clinical skills training, the UAG School of Medicine recently hosted its first Abdominal X-Ray & Ultrasound Workshop for second-semester students in Block 3. This groundbreaking session introduced real ultrasound equipment into the classroom, allowing students to practice scanning each other under the direct supervision of faculty.
This hands-on approach is part of UAG’s Clinical Skills Development (CSD) program, which emphasizes early exposure to real diagnostic tools and collaborative learning. Students had the opportunity to apply anatomy knowledge in a practical setting, identify organs such as the liver, gallbladder, and kidneys, and engage in guided peer learning.
The feedback was overwhelmingly positive:
“The abdominal ultrasound session was an eye-opening experience where I finally got to learn clinical skills that I had otherwise only observed. I became more comfortable identifying the liver, gallbladder, and kidneys.” – Katelyn Michelle Millett
“It helped me see things in real time and put our classroom knowledge to test. I enjoyed the chance to interact with real patients and receive guidance as we learned from our instructor.” – Daniel Ismael Mercado
“It was a fantastic experience! I appreciated the opportunity to engage in procedures that helped solidify the concepts we’ve covered in class.” – Genesis Marie Nin Arroyo
By prioritizing immersive and applied learning from the start, UAG continues to set itself apart in global medical education.
