On Demand - Making the Journey Navigating the Sonography Education Pathway-Webinar Recording

Video Transcription

Video Summary

The video discusses the current state of the sonography education pathway, highlighting a significant staff shortage and a reliance on costly traveler positions. The speaker emphasizes the need for a sustainable pipeline of new sonographers and proposes a solution in the form of an online accredited sonography program. The program, offered in partnership with Washburn University, allows healthcare facilities to find and enroll their own students, who will then complete their didactic coursework online and perform their clinical training in the facility's echo or vascular lab. The students will graduate with an advanced certificate in sonography and be eligible to sit for the sonography boards. The program also provides additional resources and tools for a successful student-to-teammate pathway. The speaker encourages facilities to determine how many sonographers they will need and save their spots in the upcoming program, which starts in fall 2024. Registration for spots opens on October 23, 2023.
