The ‘Imaging in Maternal-Fetal Medicine Training Course’ responds to the obstetricians’ and imaging specialists’ need for advanced training in diagnostic imaging. The training consists of a theoretical-practical part and a face-to-face week in Barcelona.
The theoretical-practical part includes an online training through specific modules to acquire basic and advanced knowledge, as well as different practical tasks such as discussing clinical cases and submitting images to validate the acquisition of the needed skills. This part is supported by an interactive platform consisting of discussion forums and Masterclasses taught by experts in the field.
This course meets the need for obstetricians or radiologists with advanced training in diagnostic imaging. The course combines theoretical-practical online modules and on-site training in Barcelona. The first part includes online training with modules covering basic and advanced knowledge acquisition, along with various practical tasks and image submissions to validate the accreditation of these competencies.

Teaching structure
The teaching program of the Imaging in Maternal-Fetal Medicine Training Course includes 5 theoretical modules that fully cover practical diagnostic imaging in fetal medicine and offers advanced training through theoretical classes and an interactive platform.
Each module contains videos with theoretical content that can be viewed online. These modules have a determined duration and will be carried out consecutively. Upon completion of a module, the student will have access to an evaluation test by means of multiple-choice questions that can include images and videos, with specific deadlines of completion.
The Masterclasses are interactive sessions with the professors that will be scheduled in the form of live online webinars, in which the students will be able to ask their questions to the experts, with the objective of solving any doubts that may have remained.
These sessions will be held before the end of the online exam period of each module and they will be coordinated by a moderator to ensure that they run smoothly.
All modules include a practical part that consists of obtaining and submitting several ultrasound images, which must meet the criteria explained in the theoretical classes.
The images will be assessed and scored by the tutors of the course; the students will receive a personalized feedback that will allow them to detect possible pitfalls in order to improve their clinical skills.
The objective of this part is to provide decision-making and problem-solving tools in ultrasound scanning that are essential in the doctor’s daily clinical practice.
A forum will be created for each module using the Moodle platform. The students will be given access once the module is open. It will constitute the place to share questions and doubts regarding the studied topics. The directors of the module will propose clinical cases to generate a debate between the students.
Dates: October 6, 2025, to October 10, 2025.
The course includes a one-week period in Barcelona, that consists of:
The students must elaborate a final research project that will be evaluated by the expert committee. There are two modalities to choose from on the type of the final project:
The topic of the final project must be proposed by each student. The proposals must be sent to the coordinator team before March 2, 2025 in order to be assessed by the scientific committee, which will evaluate their suitability. The scientific committee will establish the definitive topic for each student’s project and assign a tutor to guide the student during the project’s development. It is necessary to pass the final work assessment (the passing score is 70) to obtain the university degree.
