EXTEMPORE returns to Spain – this time in Valencia!
After our successful edition in Málaga, we are delighted to host the Advanced Fetal Anomaly Scan Course on February 20–21, 2026, in the vibrant city of Valencia, with options to join on-site or online.
This two-day program brings together the Masters of Fetal Ultrasound – Prof. Rabih Chaoui, Prof. Valentina De Robertis, Dr. Bernard Benoit, and other leading experts. The first day is dedicated to practical pre-courses on early and mid-trimester examinations, the fetal heart, 3D techniques, and live scans by the faculty. The second day offers a rich scientific program with the latest updates on anomaly scans, fetal neurosonography, and the growing role of AI in daily practice.
Designed to combine knowledge with hands-on skills, the course provides an exceptional opportunity to refine your expertise and connect with colleagues in an inspiring setting.
