We are pleased to present CAROLYN COFFIN, MPH, RDMS, RDCS, RVT for an illuminating discussion on Preventing Occupational Injury in Sonography.
Course Description:
Musculoskeletal disorders continue to be an issue for the ultrasound profession. They affect not only the individual worker but can impact the quality of patient care. Over the past 20 years, many attempts have been made to try to mitigate these injuries, and today’s exam room equipment has become much more adjustable so as to accommodate a variety of users. However, the equipment’s ergonomic features are only as good as the worker’s willingness to take advantage of them. This presentation will look at the work postures that can cause injury and what changes each worker can make to minimize injury risk. (Approved for 1 SDMS CME Credit)
Course Objectives:
Upon completion of this educational activity, the participant will be able to:
Describe the types of injuries commonly found among Sonographers.
Recognize work postures that put Sonographers at risk for injury.
Identify good work postures for minimizing injury risk.
Discuss which features of the exam room equipment help improve the ergonomics of the work environment.
