What if the class were just you?
New
Total Doppler Immersion, an Individual Hands ON
Two days with Dr. Fanilda dedicated only to you, bringing together four vascular areas in a single integrated program.
Dates arranged around your schedule, with no fixed calendar.
How it differs from a group class
- One physician at a time, with no sharing of the machine or of attention
- Limb arterial, carotid and vertebral, aorta and venous, and lipedema, together
- You bring your own cases and questions from your practice
- The sequence and emphasis adapt to your level
- 16 hours over two days, plus support material with 1 year of access

P.D.A. Method
A teaching approach that balances theory and practice, simplification and depth, in an environment that is both welcoming and challenging.
The idea behind it is simple and long established in radiology: you only recognize what you already know. That is why the course does not start with the rare image, but with your hand on the machine, repeating the common exam until it becomes automatic.
The content is adapted to what the class needs and reviewed with every edition.
