POCUS Training for Programs, Institutions, & Practitioners

Hit Training Milestones & Standards

Our ecosystem of ultrasound training and assessment resources helps POCUS program leaders ensure providers meet existing and future POCUS ultrasound training standards. SonoSim’s ecosystem delivers each of the consensus-based knowledge elements required for achieving ultrasound competency on an application-specific basis.1

SonoSim realizes there is no substitute for bedside clinical practice & live instruction. We have created an ecosystem to supplement and support bedside clinical practice. Learners and program administrators that combine bedside clinical practice with the SonoSim ecosystem achieve the best learning outcomes. We help educators overcome the traditional barriers to ultrasound training and help learners gain the ultrasound skills needed to improve patient care. SonoSim organizes and delivers ultrasound training to deliver the following elements that have been associated with developing ultrasound competency across its training resources:

Ultrasound Competency Elements

  • Indication for the examination
  • Applied knowledge of ultrasound equipment
  • Image optimization
  • Systematic examination
  • Interpretation of images
  • Documentation of examination
  • Medical decision-making

Ultrasound Training for DMS Programs

Aligned to AIUM Parameters & CAAHEP Standards

Adopted by 180+ Diagnostic Medical Sonography (DMS) programs, SonoSim transforms ordinary laptops into dynamic ultrasound training platforms. By complementing bedside clinical practice and live or remote ultrasound instruction provided by DMS programs, we help you help your learners develop ultrasound competency. Our DMS training content adheres to accreditation requirements published by the Commission on Accreditation of Allied Health Education Programs (CAAHEP), and consensus-based guidelines generated by the American Institute of Ultrasound in Medicine (AIUM).

The SonoSim Ecosystem of ultrasound training includes 80+ peer-reviewed ultrasound training topics that are tailored to develop ultrasound knowledge. Ultrasound image acquisition, interpretation, access to thousands of real pathologic cases, and adherence to DMS imaging protocols are taught using the patented laptop-based SonoSimulator®.  Study tools, like SPI Test Prep, ensure your students are optimally prepared for Board certification exams, while SonoSim’s QuestionBank allows them to engage in interactive case-based ultrasound learning. In addition, our performance tracking dashboard, automated ultrasound image review and feedback application, and curriculum integration tools simplify the process of integrating SonoSim into your curriculum. 

SonoSim ultrasound training topics cover the DMS General Education Curriculum, including SPI Test Preparation, as well as the following concentrations:
