Overview
This unit advances your study of obstetric sonography from MEDS12006 beyond the early dating scan. You will explore the sonographic assessment of normal and pathological obstetric ultrasound cases spanning from 12 to 24 weeks of gestation. You will participate in simulated scanning sessions to facilitate the identification of normal sonographic appearance of the second trimester fetus. Clinical scenarios are used to engage you in the sonographic decision-making process which expands your knowledge and assists in creating sonographer reports.

Pre-requisites or Co-requisites
Prerequisite: MEDS12006 Ultrasound in Obstetrics and Gynaecology 1
Important note: Students enrolled in a subsequent unit who failed their pre-requisite unit, should drop the subsequent unit before the census date or within 10 working days of Fail grade notification. Students who do not drop the unit in this timeframe cannot later drop the unit without academic and financial liability. See details in the Assessment Policy and Procedure (Higher Education Coursework).
Offerings For Term 1 - 2027
Attendance Requirements
All on-campus students are expected to attend scheduled classes - in some units, these classes are identified as a mandatory (pass/fail) component and attendance is compulsory. International students, on a student visa, must maintain a full time study load and meet both attendance and academic progress requirements in each study period (satisfactory attendance for International students is defined as maintaining at least an 80% attendance record).

Feedback, Recommendations and Responses
Every unit is reviewed for enhancement each year. At the most recent review, the following staff and student feedback items were identified and recommendations were made.
Feedback from Student emails. Unit coordinator reflection.
Some students reported that they did not have enough time for the Quizzes 1 and 2 and found this stressful.
Consideration should be given to quiz format and timing for future deliveries.
Feedback from Student feedback. Unit coordinator reflection.
Some students reported that the practice quizzes did not align with the actual quizzes.
Consider upgrades to both formative and summative quizzes to better support student preparedness and constructive alignment of content, assessment and outcomes.
Feedback from Student feedback. Unit coordinator reflection.
Some students reported the depth and knowledge expectations were not clear.
Suggest providing clearer guidance on key concepts, assessment expectations, and the scope of examinable content via resources such as learning materials, tutorials, and assessment preparation activities.
Feedback from Student feedback. Unit coordinator reflection.
Some students reported confusion between existing learning materials and updated content reflecting contemporary clinical practice.
As redevelopment of the unit content continues, consider how consistency and contemporary clinical accuracy can be improved.
