"Aprende Canada’s ultrasound videos are super helpful. The step by step instructions with the models help break everything down so it’s easy to follow, even for tricky scans. I like how clear it made probe placement and image optimization even for difficult patients. Honestly these tutorials boosted my confidence a lot during training and played a huge part in learning further than what I required, and I’d recommend them to any sonography student who want to improve or just want to spice up their skills."

Sajin Bala
"I sincerely thank Leonardo for providing clear, informative, and well-structured ultrasound training videos. As an ultrasound student, these videos greatly enhanced my confidence and practical understanding, particularly through detailed demonstrations and real scanning examples that improved my skills in probe handling, image optimization, and anatomical recognition.
One of the most valuable features was the ability to revisit the videos as needed—especially before lab classes and exams —which reinforced key concepts and deepened my overall comprehension. I truly appreciate the tremendous effort invested in creating such an excellent resource for learners at all levels."

Feda Mansour
"I used to watch your ultrasound scanning videos during my sonography program, and they were honestly such a huge help. Since I didn’t have a medical background before starting the program, your clear, step-by-step teaching and demonstrations — all created and presented by you — made it so much easier to understand how to scan different organs. You have such a great way of explaining things that makes complex concepts feel simple and practical. Thank you so much for putting in the effort to make those videos — they truly made a difference!"

“As a Diagnostic Medical Sonography student, I have found the ultrasound techniques and anatomy review videos to be an invaluable component of my learning journey. The content is thoughtfully organized, comprehensive, and presented with exceptional clarity, making it easy to follow and apply in both academic and clinical settings. Each video provides a strong foundation by reviewing essential anatomical structures, followed by clear demonstrations of scanning techniques, image optimization, and proper transducer handling.

These resources have played a significant role in reinforcing my understanding of sectional anatomy and its correlation to sonographic imaging. The step-by-step guidance through various scanning planes and organ systems has not only strengthened my theoretical knowledge but has also improved my ability to recognize normal anatomy and differentiate pathological findings in a clinical environment.

The combination of visual demonstrations, practical tips, and systematic explanations has greatly enhanced my technical proficiency and overall confidence when performing real-time scans. By bridging the gap between classroom learning and hands-on application, these videos have supported my growth as a student sonographer and helped me develop a more analytical and patient-centered approach to scanning.”

"As an ultrasound student, I found your scanning video on chasing the pancreatic tail invaluable. For gassy patients, the tail is often not well seen from the usual epigastric window, and I often have to note ‘partially obscured by gas’ in my reports. After watching this video, I learned how to use the spleen as a landmark to locate the pancreatic tail and to pay attention to its echogenicity. This technique is something I plan to add to my routine scans so I can confidently report that the tail is well seen and clear of pathology. Your teaching style truly bridges the gap between theory and real-world scanning. Thank you for creating resources that genuinely help aspiring sonographers master their skills."
Ava Moser
"Aprende Canada videos made a huge change in my scanning skills. All the videos clearly show and demonstrate how to scan each organ properly and how to obtain the best images possible. There are so many helpful tips and pointers throughout each video. Leonardo does an amazing job at explaining each step to make sure everyone can understand. I am so thankful I had the Aprende Canada videos as part of my learning experience."
