The Ultrasound School was set up 1985 at the Medical Pathology I Department (Prof. G. Gasbarrini), Policlinico S. Orsola, University of Bologna and, since 1998, continued its activities at the Internal Medicine A Department (V. Arienti) at the Ospedale Maggiore of Bologna until February 2016. Since 2016, Dr. V. Arienti has continued as Scientific and Didactic of the SIMI and SIUMB National Schools of the Ultrasound Centre, while the clinical and organisational responsibility of the Centre has been handed over to Dr. A. Domanico. The Centre currently includes the SIUMB, SIMI and Bologna NHS Ultrasound Schools.

The aims of the school are first of all to teach the in/depth theory of ultrasound (theory sessions) which is then put into practice (practical sessions) according to the current guidelines of the national and international scientific societies. There are three levels of training (basic, intermediate, continuous refresher course) in clinical ultrasound (internist and vascular) and two levels (Echoscopy, Point of Care US) in bedside ultrasound.

The students are taught when to apply ultrasound in the setting of Internal Medicine and General Surgery, and their relative branches, during the theory sessions with didactic and reference material. They then learn how an ultrasound examination should be carried out, first under the guidance of experts and then by performing the scans themselves.


The Courses are held at the Cente for Research and Training in Ultrasound and are UNI EN ISO 9001:2000 certified.
The courses in 2019:
