Scanning and competitions and prizes... OH MY!

We are happy to announce our 4th Annual UltraFest, a FREE Ultrasound Symposium hosted by USIG, is coming up on October 8th here on the campus of THE Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center.

We are expecting more than 200 medical, undergraduate and high school students from across the Buckeye State and beyond. You will gain hands-on point-of-care ultrasound experience using the most cutting edge ultrasound equipment.

As part of the experience, you will receive:

• FREE breakfast and lunch

• FREE t-shirt (if you submit a design for the t-shirt here by Friday, September 8th!)
