CREDIT HOURS MIN: 2
LECTURE HOURS MIN: 1.5
LAB HOURS MIN: 1
TOTAL CONTACT HOURS MIN: 2.5
DATE OF LAST REVISION: Fall 2022
This course will cover the second and third trimester fetus. The fetal neural axis, facial and cranial development, fetal abdomen, gastrointestinal structures, and abdominal wall will be discussed.

The embryologic development of each system will be discussed.
MAJOR COURSE LEARNING OBJECTIVES:
- Identify on diagram and sonographic image the normal and abnormal fetal anatomy.
- Perform basic protocol for the covered systems in second and third trimester sonography.
- Describe the effects of pathophysiology on maternal and fetal organs and organ systems for the fetal face, neural axis, thorax, heart, gastrointestinal structures, and abdominal wall.
- Define fetal evaluation for anomalies and well-being, testing methods and protocols used for testing in each of the covered systems.
- Recognize the landmarks used for proper measurements of the fetal head and abdomen.
