Echo & Ultrasound Scholarship

The 123Sonography echocardiography scholarship has been a pivotal step in propelling my career as a cardiac physiologist. Through this program, I received specialized training and access to core modules allowing me to refine my expertise in echocardiography and carotid ultrasound. This knowledge has enabled me to provide precise evaluation of cardiac function, leading to more accurate diagnoses which directly impacts on treatment modalities for patients. By studying the modules and applying them to my daily practice, I have obtained my Registered Cardiac Sonographer certification by Cardiovascular Credentialing International (CCI, USA) and actively working towards obtaining my British Society for Echocardiography certification. Additionally, the scholarship facilitated invaluable networking opportunities, connecting me with esteemed professionals and experts in the field. This scholarship has undoubtedly been the cornerstone of my professional growth, positioning me as a competent and dedicated practitioner in the realm of cardiovascular physiology. Finally, I want to express my profound gratitude to Prof Thomas Binder and his team for making this a reality!

I profoundly express my gratitude for awarding me the “123sonography Echo’s Scholarship”. Thank you for your generosity as I am honored to be one of the recipients of this important Program. Your open-handedness has helped reawaken a dream of furthering my study in cardiovascular studies. It has also brought back hope for my professional and academic career. I am very delighted about this opportunity. Granting me this prestigious scholarship has helped me to couple my potential of becoming a remarkable trainer of healthcare professionals. The class sections have really built my confident, skills and clinical correlation. This scholarship award has done me good in all my scanning skills.

I felt privileged to be selected as one of the scholarship awardees and I want to thank the 123 sonography team for this unique opportunity. It meant so much to me! As an anesthesiologist, when it comes to cardiac ultrasound, I don't get many chances to practice or be guided by professionals. Prof. Binder is an exceptional teacher. He can make not only echocardiography, but also cardiology so simple and now I feel a lot more confident when assessing the heart. With the practical tips and trick he shares, it almos feels like he is right there guiding me. We need more courses like this in our medical education!

The 123sonography's Echo Scholarship gave me the chance to build up my profession, strengthening my competencies and practical skills in cardiology. It helped me to learn more about cardiovascular diseases and allowed me to continue medical education (CME). After the program, I am able to make a diagnosis and do a better management plan for patients with cardiac problems.

American writer Helen Keller once said "Walking with a friend in the dark is better than walking alone in the dark". That's very true. I've never thought that 123 sonography is that one friend. Thank you very much from the deepest part of my heart to all the members of 123 sonography.

The 123 Sonography scholarship has fulfilled my dream. Pursuing echo courses with them and applying my knowledge in my daily practice has enabled me to become the sole cardiac sonographer in Kaduna state. My comprehensive understanding of echo and cardiac pathologies has gained the trust of numerous doctors and cardiologists. As a result, I can contribute to enhancing cardiac diagnostic procedures accessibility for patients in my area.
