Last Year UCI, held the first ever Sonosite supported Ultrafest. Then it expanded to Stanford and TJU with resounding success. Last weekend, it went to Europe with the first Ultrafest in Maribor, Slovenia. Below is an excerpt from an email we received about the event:

Dear all;
It is with great pleasure that I am writing to briefly summarize the first ever European Ultrafest in Maribor, Slovenia.
Upon opening online registration, the response was absolutely amazing - more than 200 medical students applied in a matter of minutes. Students were then given video materials and custom learning objectives to prepare for the event.
On Saturday we had a blast! Students enjoyed it, the teachers had a lot of fun and it really was a party with ultrasound. About 80 students and 12 Ultrasound instructors had 6 hours of hands-on time at 6 ultrasound stations. Students were well prepared and eager to learn as much as possible in the allotted time.
