SDMS 2026: Empowering Educators and Preparing Learners for Success

Capacity isn't a number of seats. It's the clinical hours your program provides, the clinical rotation sites you've secured, the preceptor bandwidth you have, and the availability of high-quality ultrasound educators. Each one has a limit, and none of them decides what pathology walks through the door while a student is on rotation. SonoSim support can help you make those limited hours really count, by giving learners standardized exposure to important pathologic cases before clinical experience is left to chance.

That is what 260 sonography programs use SonoSim to change. Learners build knowledge across 85+ peer-reviewed courses, then scan the same library of 1,000+ cases in the SonoSimulator®, so exposure stops depending on chance. SPI Test Prep gives learners four times better odds of passing on the first try, the new OB/GYN Test Prep brings 1,850 peer-reviewed questions with multimedia explainers, and Abdomen Test Prep arrives late 2026.

Your clinical hours stay exactly as required. They just start from a higher level. Stop by Booth #303 to see how it works.

SonoSim gives learners a proven† edge on the SPI exam. Students have four times better odds of passing on their first try, and 91% report a positive impact on their preparation.

Key Elements of SonoSim SPI Test Prep:

Mock SPI Test Prep Exams: Unlimited, randomized, weighted exams that mirror the ARDMS SPI structure
Interactive Quizzes: Focused practice on the domains that need work
1,500+ Peer-Reviewed Questions: Detailed answer explanations mapped to current SPI Test requirements, reviewed by leading ultrasound biophysicists and ARDMS-certified sonographers

New for 2026, SonoSim's OB/GYN Test Prep prepares learners for the ARDMS OB/GYN specialty exam. Image- and video-based questions with full answer explanations build pattern recognition and clinical reasoning, not just recall.

Key Elements of SonoSim OB/GYN Test Prep:

Built to Teach, Not Just Test: Image- and video-based questions with full answer explanations that reinforce ultrasound knowledge and interpretation skills
1,850 Peer-Reviewed Questions: Complete with multimedia explainers, mapped to the ARDMS OB/GYN exam
Unlimited Weighted Mock Exams: Accurately weighted ARDMS OB/GYN mock exams with unlimited attempts

Unlimited Scanning Practice, Mapped to ARDMS Certification Exams

SonoSim's SonoSimulator® gives every learner in your cohort unlimited access to 1,000+ pathologic scanning cases and 32 DMS scanning protocols, on any laptop, outside lab hours. Content is pre-mapped across Abdomen, Adult Echo, MSK, Pediatric Sonography, Vascular Technology, and OB/GYN, so preparation is standardized at every stage of training.

Explore the following key areas:

Scanning Protocols & Assignments: Unlimited scanning practice in diverse settings. Explore the available protocols.
Anatomy & Physiology Topics: Fundamental ultrasound knowledge at your fingertips. Discover the full content range.
Clinical Topics: A gateway to a vast array of real pathologic cases, enhancing learner proficiency in ultrasound protocols. Browse clinical topics.
Advanced Clinical Topics: Customized content to deepen learners' expertise. Find advanced clinical topics.
Ultrasound-Guided Procedure Topics: Cognitive training on procedures enhanced by ultrasound guidance. Review procedure topics.

Unrestricted & Remote Hands-On OB/GYN Scanning Practice, Including Transvaginal Cases

SonoSim's OB/GYN ultrasound training program helps DMS programs prepare students for careers in women's health sonography.

Students may go an entire rotation without encountering gynecologic and obstetric pathology their site doesn't regularly see. SonoSim gives learners unlimited practice on scanning cases from real patients, including transvaginal scenarios, identifying both normal and pathologic conditions such as simple and complex ovarian cysts and congenital uterine malformations.

Discover a Complete Ecosystem of Support for Your Sonography Program

SonoSim delivers the essential components to complete the ultrasound training landscape. Learners access self-directed, cloud-based instruction from any device, then practice scanning cases from real patients as often as they need. That makes hands-on time with actual patients more valuable, and gives educators the tools to monitor learner progress and target support before it becomes a problem. Watch the video to learn more!
