ULTRASOUND SOLUTIONS CORP. is delighted to present Sharlette Anderson, MHS, RDMS, RVT, RDCS, FSDMS, Content Specialist for Touch of Life Technologies (Toltech), for an educational session on the value of using virtual dissection tools in Scanning Labs.
Description:
One of the most difficult skills for sonography students to develop is navigating internal anatomy with the ultrasound beam. By incorporating the use of virtual dissection tools when learning sonographic scanning protocols, students are supported to develop a better understanding of 3D anatomic relationships, build a mental roadmap of spatial anatomic relationships, and ultimately help them locate anatomy with the sound beam more effectively. This course provides insight into relating sonographic anatomy to cadaveric anatomy slices to help students achieve the two lower rungs of Miller’s Pyramid of Clinical Competence in the Scanning Lab prior to entering clinical rotations. This can relieve some of the cognitive load they experience when scanning patients in the clinical setting and help students achieve the level of competence required to enter the profession by the time they graduate. (Approved for 1 SDMS CME credit, provided one is present for the entire event.)
This event is generously sponsored by Touch of Life Technologies. We thank them for their support!
Course Objectives: Upon completion of this educational activity, the participant will be able to:

This activity has been approved for 1.0 SDMS CME credit.
The CME participant roster will be reported by Ultrasound Solutions Corp. to the SDMS CME Tracker System.
Important update from the SDMS:
SDMS no longer allows its CME providers to issue Partial Credit for attendance. 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.
