Education
SURGiC is involved in national and international ultrasound training. We offer pre- and postgraduate research training for medical- and technical professionals.
Our International Summer Ultrasound Course
Each year, we organize Copenhagen International Head & Neck Ultrasound Course, which covers both head and neck ultrasound and ultrasound-guided interventions.​
The course is relevant for both experienced practitioners looking to improve their ultrasound skills and for trainees interested in incorporating ultrasound in their clinical practice, as we offer both a basic course and an advanced course.
An international faculty will teach thyroid, parathyroid, and neck ultrasound. The lectures are combined with quizzes and hands-on training on volunteers or phantoms for ultrasound-guided interventions.
To date, we have trained more than 200 doctors from over 30 countries in the use of systematic ultrasound during this course.

Basic Ultrasound Courses
Twice a year we offer an Introductory Course in Head and Neck Ultrasound, which includes both lectures in anatomy and head and neck ultrasound, as well as hands-on training. This course is held in Danish.
The course is aimed at ENT surgeons who want to develop basic ultrasound skills or begin to perform ultrasound in their clinical practice. It is also relevant for other specialties thar perform head and neck ultrasounds, such as endocrinologists, pediatricians, radiologists, and more.
During the course, you will learn how to scan healthy volunteers and patients and expand your knowledge of ultrasound physics, ultrasound anatomy, and the systematic head and neck ultrasound scan.​

​Introduction to Clinical Ultrasound for Resident Doctors
Each month we offer this basic course in clinical ultrasound. It includes a fundamental theoretical introduction to the use of ultrasound in patient assessment, as well as general principles of ultrasound scanning, using the anatomy of the neck as an example. This course is held in Danish.
The course will combine classroom teaching with hands-on training and practical exercises, allowing you to develop your ultrasound skills using ultrasound machines, fellow participants, and phantoms.

Ultrasound in global health
SURGiC has organized several ultrasound courses in collaboration with the African Head and Neck Society (AfHNS).
​
We have also funded ultrasound machines and travel grants for doctors from low-resource countries, enabling them to use ultrasound as an accessible, low-cost imaging tool.

EFSUMB
We are also involved with the European Federation of Societies for Ultrasound in Medicine and Biology (EFSUMB).
Our work includes participating in developing new guidelines for head and neck ultrasound as well as promoting the integration of ultrasound training in medical education.
