Ultrasound Training System On-Demand - Diagnostic Medical Sonography

Every scan starts with you — the educators preparing the next generation of sonographers. With ultrasound demand rising and classrooms under pressure, SonoSim is here to help. Trusted by over 220 sonography programs, SonoSim transforms ordinary laptops into dynamic ultrasound training platforms. Complementing bedside instruction, our platform accelerates learner competency with 85+ ultrasound topics, thousands of real patient cases, and SPI Test Prep proven to boost passing odds sixfold.

SonoSim fully appreciates the deep expertise sonographers bring to patient care every day. That’s why we designed a complete, on-demand ecosystem with didactic courses, unlimited virtual scanning, and a robust ultrasound image portfolio to support your program. Tools like SPI Test Prep, curriculum mapping, and performance tracking help ensure your learners succeed at critical moments — and that you, as an educator, feel fully supported along the way.

Give your students the experience of virtually scanning thousands of real pathologic findings from actual patients with the SonoSimulator®. On-demand access to these cases provides a standardized, case-based foundation that complements in-person scanning instruction and prepares learners for off-site clinical rotations. By removing barriers such as limited patient pathology, scarce instructor time, and restricted access to machines, the SonoSimulator enables learners to practice until mastery so they arrive at clinical settings more confident, consistent, and ready to contribute. SonoSim’s ultrasound education and training covers a complete General Education Curriculum, including Abdomen, OB/GYN, Vascular, Adult Cardiac, Breast, Musculoskeletal, and SPI Prep concentrations.
