Camosun announces opening of Campus Ultrasound

Camosun College has announced that it will soon be opening a new outpatient training ultrasound clinic called Campus Ultrasound. Working with Island Health, Camosun’s clinic will provide important health care services while students get hands-on training administering ultrasound scans. The clinic includes two general ultrasound rooms and two echocardiogram rooms, where students will have access to advanced simulation tools and experienced sonographers and radiologists. Government of British Columbia Health Minister Adrian Dix said that this is the first time this model has been used in Canada. “I think it would be a model, in the health sciences in particular, for what we do in the years going forward,” said Dix.
