If you’re looking for the next step, this may well be it.
We don’t see ultrasound as an end unto itself. We see it as a tool, to hep clinicians make immediate decisions at critical points in the patient encounter. For many years this technology has been cloaked in mystery, hidden in that dark room down the hall; today it’s stepping out into every avenue of care, and everyone involved in point of care is going to benefit from its use. And this is not something new.
For over thirty years, clinicians outside the United States have used ultrasound at the bedside and in the office as an extension of their physical exam: not as a standalone procedure, but to clarify and accelerate decision making. Today, as the U.S. moves steadily to ward an outpatient DRG model for health care reimbursement, the role of ultrasound will move from a unique procedure to an indispensable and routine part of patient care. In other words, ultrasound is a solid extension of your physical examination skills and your future will flourish with its use.
Make yourself more valuable, to your patient and your doctor, and save you all a lot of time. Though ultrasound involves a fundamental paradigm shift for your practice, the process to learn and use it is a straightforward as any other procedure. The good news is that you already know most of what you need to master it; you just need a new exam protocol and a new way of seeing. We can help you fast track both.
This idea is probably foreign to the way you grew up, but history rarely affects the future of technology and how it’s used.
And though it’s true that ultrasound requires special credentialing, the good news is that you already know most of what you need to know to succeed. You just need a new hand-eye skill l and a new way to see.
Our forty years of ultrasound practice and thirty of teaching it have all come down to this: fast track training for you, that compresses a decade’s worth of knowledge into a day of learning. That’s not to say you can master clinical ultrasound practice in a week; you can’t do that even as a graduate of a two-year school.
You have to have wisdom, born of oversight, feedback, practice, and accountability. Just like the kind you already have in place

You have to have wisdom, born of oversight, feedback, practice, and accountability. Just like the kind you already have in place
at your job. Under proper oversight and feedback from your physicians and qualified peers you can develop your requisite clinical experience to proceed to take the national credentialing exams. Learn more. Our job is to make certain you’re prepared to begin your process and grow to the point where you can pass.
Talk to the physicians you know and work with: they need you. They need your clinical experience and wisdom, because few sonographers are your equal in this regard. The advantages you offer are clear:
• You already know the pathophysiology and clinical ramifications from your primary care experience.
• You know how to think like a physician, and you’re comfortable consulting with them. That means time saved.
• You’re licensed to provide care at a level no other allied health professionals are; this makes you the most versatile employee on the payroll. And versatility means reduced practice overhead.
• Your multiplied skills offer you a personal challenge and reward that lead to stability: it’s unlikely that you’ll ever be distracted to leave for another job. And that speaks for itself.
If this path to growth looks right, talk to your colleagues and see how you can both benefit. Every employer is always a little skeptical that a trainee will leave as soon as they’;ve trained will leave as soon as they can, so offer at the outset your commitment in writing. Download the Employee Commitment Contract we’ve prepared for you to use; you’ll be sure to have their attention.
We offer public courses for individuals even and on site tutorials in all clinical applications throughout the year. We can work with your entire office team to help bring every one of you to a seamless level of fluid care.
Ultrasound is not a machine to use; it’s a process, to integrate with every other element of patient care. You;ve mastered nearly every other technology out there. For you, this one will be no more difficult.
Contact us; we’ll be delighted to help steer you to your proper nest step.
