Ultrasound Physics for Critical Care Imaging — Micro‑credential

The Monash University Critical Care Ultrasound (MUCCU) short courses combine flexible online learning with practical, hands‑on support sessions by experts at clinical sites. This micro‑credential Ultrasound Physics for Critical Care Imaging is the pre‑/co‑requisite for the suite of MUCCU short courses. Upon successful completion, you will be awarded the micro-credential MUCCU certificate.

Successful completion of this physics module is required to complete any MUCCU short course.

WHAT YOU’LL LEARN
