On September 19\u201320, 2026, an international professional course dedicated to ultrasound diagnostics<\/a><\/strong> was held in Yerevan, organized by VitaMed Medical Center<\/a> and SonoSchool Armenia<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The event was held as an EFSUMB Endorsed Course<\/strong>, bringing together specialists from Armenia and abroad to explore modern ultrasound diagnostics, its clinical applications, and the development of practical skills.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The main goal of the course was to make international expertise accessible to the Armenian medical community and to build the educational program not only around theoretical knowledge but also around its direct application in clinical practice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

International Expertise and Leading Specialists<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

One of the key features of the course was the participation of internationally recognized experts, who presented current approaches to ultrasound diagnostics, international experience, and their application in clinical practice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
