HDMC is excited to now offer Ultrasound Technology students access to the innovative SonoSim Ultrasound Training Solution platform. SonoSim provides a breakthrough ultrasound training experience, including on-demand access to pathologies, peer-reviewed courses, a mobile app, and performance tracking. Studying at home, students simply insert the SonoSim Probe into a USB port, and their personal computer is instantly transformed into a bedside ultrasound-training environment. SonoSim utilizes the world’s largest online library of actual patient cases with a broad spectrum of normal and real pathologic conditions, so students can simulate real-world experiences. The SonoSim program offers students immediate probe-positioning guidance and expert feedback while scanning real-patient cases.
In announcing the addition of SonoSim technology to the Ultrasound program, HDMC’s Ultrasound Program Director Chelsea Thomson, RDMS, said, “The addition of SonoSim to our students’ education provides a learning experience that surpasses what can traditionally be offered in a lab setting. Students will gain access to pathologies, procedures and case studies to prepare them for what they will encounter in the field. This tool helps take the lab home with them so that they can practice the hands-on application outside of course hours and will help them set themselves apart from others entering the field.”
SonoSim’s innovative, patented technology offers HDMC students the most current, relevant industry training available today. Training to be an ultrasound technician is a popular choice amongst students looking to enter the healthcare field. The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics projects increasing growth in this field as sonography becomes an increasingly attractive alternative to radiological procedures. The BLS predicts the field will grow faster than the average rate of 12% annually through 2029, adding approximately 15,600 new jobs to the economy. Many ultrasound technicians/ digital medical sonographers find positions in public and private hospitals; others work in private practices, physicians offices, medical and diagnostic laboratories and outpatient care centers.
