On February 28, 2025, the Global Health team for India, led by Dr. Shweta Golhar, conducted a virtual training session on Clinical Ultrasound at Byramjee-Jeejeebhoy Government Medical College (BJGMC) in Pune, India. Practicing physicians from BJGMC participated in the session.

Dr. Golhar, an alumnus of BJGMC, introduced the Clinical Ultrasound training program at her alma mater to enhance ultrasound skills among practitioners. The program, launched in October 2024, features comprehensive modules covering ultrasound physics and knobology, RUSH/FAST protocols, and organ-specific ultrasound applications for the lungs, heart, and gastric system.

The session focused on cardiac ultrasound, beginning with a live demonstration on a model to showcase normal cardiac anatomy and standard image acquisition techniques. This was followed by a presentation featuring ultrasound images of various cardiac pathologies, which had been acquired from real clinical cases. In addition to the cardiac module, the session also included a review of lung and gastric ultrasound images, reinforcing key concepts covered in previous sessions. Participants engaged in image interpretation exercises, where they received feedback on ultrasound images they had submitted. Additionally, de-identified cases from BIDMC were used to illustrate diagnostic approaches and interpretation techniques.

This session marked the completion of the ultrasound course for the attendees, culminating months of training aimed at strengthening Clinical Ultrasound proficiency. Participants appreciated the structured, interactive learning approach, and the session was well received as another successful milestone in global collaboration and advancing ultrasound education at BJGMC.
