UC Irvine Indonesia Ultrasound Research 2018

UCI Medicine x Ultrasound

Home: Welcome

Our Mission

We are ten 1st year medical students from UC Irvine School of Medicine who will be partnering with a health sciences college, Sekolah Tinggi Llmu Kesehatan (STIKES), in Mojokerto, Indonesia to teach Indonesian physicians, nurses, and midwives how to perform critical ultrasound techniques. These techniques can be utilized in a variety of settings--from maternal/fetal health, emergency settings, and to diagnosing common diseases.


Ultrasound is such an important tool because it provides an efficient and low cost method of supplementing expensive diagnostic tests. Our obstetrics ultrasound lessons may be vital to saving expectant mothers with high risk pregnancies. By teaching relevant scans such as the FASH scan, an efficient and low-cost ultrasound technique to diagnosing Tuberculosis and HIV co-infections, we hope to teach local providers the skills to save lives and prevent the spread of infection. 

​

We also plan to conduct research in fields including portal vein hypertension, the correlation between carotid stiffness and smoking, and the disclosure of smoking status via in-person history taking versus technological survey. In addition to our research projects, we are conducting a study assessing the effectiveness of our ultrasound curriculum to set up the success of future years' trips.

​

By donating to our cause, you are becoming a vital contributor to the benefit we hope to bring to the Indonesian people this summer. We will continue to update our website, Facebook, and Instagram with blog posts, photos, and details of our numerous projects, so please stay connected.

​

Thank you for your support!
