Abdominal Ultrasound Career Training Plan
  We offer a systematic program of training that will ground you and your staff with the skills necessary to master fully all aspects of obstetric or pelvic sonography. Every course is structured to meet and exceed the guidelines for the American Registry of Diagnostic Medical Sonographers (ARDMS) and facility guidelines set forth by the American College of Radiology and American Institute of Ultrasound in Medicine.
Many of our courses are held consecutively in time. Although the short-term time frame might suggest an abbreviated training experience, your learning will be pleasantly comprehensive. Most of our students prefer to take the Pelvic & Obstetrics and Endovaginal imaging courses immediately following the abdominal course.
The courses are listed in the recommended order of completion:
