ULTRASOUND TRAINING · AT YOUR OWN HEALTHCARE FACILITY

Ultrasound training on your own equipment, in your own workplace.

Sono in situ brings training to the place where you work. We focus on your equipment, your questions and the support you need, with a programme tailored to your team.

What the training offers

Train where you work.

Your equipment. Your questions. Your training.

We focus on what you need: an examination you feel less confident performing, a protocol that raises questions, or a control you have not yet explored. Our instructors work with you on your own ultrasound system, in your own setting, addressing your specific questions.

And so that you can practise on a person from the very start, we bring a human ultrasound model — no phantom, no simulator, but real anatomy.

Train where you work.
Why this approach works

You do not learn ultrasound in a lecture

Ultrasound is a psychomotor skill. You can understand textbook images in minutes, but probe positioning, finding the right imaging plane and adjusting depth, gain and frequency can only be learned through repeated practice on patients. Lectures and phantom-based exercises cannot replace this.

The international literature is clear: hands-on training with real tissue is superior to phantom models, particularly for image acquisition and interpretation in real clinical situations. Learning on your own equipment also improves transfer to everyday practice, because the user interface, presets and button layout remain familiar.

That is why we provide a trained human ultrasound model. No phantom, no simulator, but real anatomy — combined with your own equipment and your specific questions.

The result: what you practise on the training day, you can apply on your next working day, without losing anything in the transition from training to clinical reality.

  • 4–6 participants
  • Human ultrasound model included
INDIVIDUAL COACHING

Individual support for your specific clinical question.

Focused, tailored support for a specific question or ultrasound application.

  • 1–2 participants
  • Human ultrasound model included; models with known findings may be available, depending on the clinical question and availability
HOSPITAL SETTINGS · DOCTORS

Build confidence in clinical practice on your own ultrasound system.

From focused echocardiography in intensive care and FAST in the emergency department to vascular assessment on the ward, ultrasound has many clinical applications. Sono in situ provides training in your department, on the system you use every day, with a human ultrasound model supplied by us.

HOSPITAL SETTINGS · NURSING TEAMS

Practical ultrasound skills for your nursing team.

Point-of-care ultrasound is no longer solely the domain of doctors. Nursing staff are increasingly taking independent responsibility for tasks such as ultrasound-guided vascular access or bladder volume measurement. Sono in situ closes this training gap with practical training on your ward, using your facility’s own equipment.

MEDICAL PRACTICES & PRIMARY CARE UNITS

Develop ultrasound skills for everyday medical practice.

Ultrasound in medical practice includes abdominal, thyroid, musculoskeletal and vascular examinations. Sono in situ comes to your practice, your equipment and your team, with a human ultrasound model so you can make full use of the training time for scanning.

TYPICAL APPLICATIONS

From routine examinations to emergency assessment.

Emergency cardiac assessment

From the fundamentals of focused echocardiography, including left ventricular systolic function and pericardial effusion, to specialist applications such as detailed valve assessment.

Chest & lungs

Pneumothorax, pleural effusion and the role of lung ultrasound in assessing heart failure.

Abdomen

Free fluid, major vessels and detailed assessment of abdominal organs, from the gallbladder, liver, pancreas and spleen to the urinary tract.

Thyroid & neck

From deciding when an examination is indicated to planning the next steps.

Vascular access

Ultrasound-guided puncture of peripheral and central vessels — safely and reproducibly.

Musculoskeletal ultrasound

Tendons, muscles and joints, from focused assessment of injuries to follow-up in rheumatology.

Why Med-STA

Experience, certification and recognition that matter

Training teams since 2005

Over 25,000 participants trained in real workplaces rather than classrooms.

ERC course centre & continuing education approval

An official ERC course centre, with Austrian DFP and ÖGKV PFP approval and documented continuing education.

Recognised in 2025

Austrian Patient Safety Award 2025 and HRO-Award 2025: independent recognition of quality.

Human ultrasound model

No phantom, no simulator: we bring a human ultrasound model. You practise on real anatomy from the very first minute, using your own equipment.
