How it Works

Each SonoSim module contains:

  • A Didactic, Cloud-Based, Multimedia Course
  • Real-Time Knowledge Checks & a Mastery Test
  • A Series of Hands-On, Real Patient Scanning Cases Accessed with the SonoSimulator® Ultrasound Probe

The SonoSimulator Ultrasound Probe is a one-time purchase and is your access key to the SonoSim modules you license annually. License to each module is purchased in the first year, and maintained with an annual membership fee. Keep scanning and maintain all your member benefits, including annual access to all your modules, with your low annual membership fee of $295 (complimentary in your first year).

  • Real Time Assessment & Feedback
  • A 20 Question Mastery Test

Continued Medical Education

Ultrasound has tremendous value in providing image guidance during invasive procedures. The potential procedures that benefit from ultrasound guidance vary considerably, and the list continues to grow. In many cases, procedures too risky or too difficult to perform blindly can now be safely performed with ultrasound guidance. The Introduction to Ultrasound-Guided Procedures: Procedure Module includes lessons on: the advantages of and indications for ultrasound-guided procedures, pre-procedural preparation, procedural steps, imaging adjuncts, technical tips and pitfalls, and potential complications. One develops the visuospatial skills required to perform needle-based ultrasound-guided procedures through 10 different simulation cases.

This activity has been planned and implemented in accordance with the accreditation requirements and policies of the Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education (ACCME) through the joint providership of the American College of Emergency Physicians, the Illinois College of Emergency Physicians, and SonoSim, Inc. The American College of Emergency Physicians is accredited by the ACCME to provide continuing medical education for physicians.

The American College of Emergency Physicians designates this enduring material for a maximum of 3 AMA PRA Category 1 Credits™. Physicians should claim only the credit commensurate with the extent of their participation in the activity.

Approved by the American College of Emergency Physicians for a maximum of 3 hours of ACEP Category I credit.
