Course Description:
Clinical rotations are a necessary and vital component to producing quality, entry-level Sonographers. The future of the Diagnostic Medical Sonography profession is dependent upon it. While the Clinical Preceptor role is rewarding, it can have challenges. Those challenges are best dealt with when setting and communicating clear expectations and providing consistent and timely feedback. This talk will focus on the roles of the Clinical Coordinator, Clinical Preceptor, and student and how to create a harmonious and productive experience that is a win/win for all involved. (Approved for 1 SDMS CME credit)

SDMS no longer allows us to issue Partial Credit for your participation in USC Ultrasound CME events. If you join late or leave early, the SDMS will no longer permit us to award partial pro-rated credit.
Therefore, from now on, in order to receive CME credit, you must be in attendance for the ENTIRE event via your own unique Zoom link that Zoom emailed to you when you registered. Then, and only then, will USC be able to award you any credit. So please be prompt and attentive to the time schedule.
We apologize for any inconvenience, but again, this is a new SDMS policy we must abide by. Thank you for understanding.
