Re: Technician vs TechnologistFrom: Terry J. DuBose (tjdubose@juno.com)Tue Dec 30 21:27:41 1997
You are correct, someone probably should respond. I usually ignore *technologist*, *technician*, or just plain *tech*, I realize that for many it is just habit. However, words do have meaning, and people think in words, and what we think becomes our reality, usually. So, just to be correct and kosher, and this is not official yet, but the SDMS Board of Directors is currently considering it and will vote before the spring is out. *Ultrasound Technician* will probably be voted to mean anyone using sonography who has not passed the ARDMS examinations. Those who have taken and passed the ARDMS examinations are correctly referred to as Sonographers (non-physicians) or Sonologist (physicians who have qualified to use sonography). The SDMS will not use the phrase *Ultrasound Technologist* out of deference to the Registered Vascular Technologists (SVT) who prefer that term for some reason (they used to do a few things outside of sonography, some may still). Hope this helps. Peace, Terry J. DuBose

The American Medical Association is no longer designating CME hours for AMA Category II CME credit. However, physicians themselves may self designate learning activities as Category II CME credit hours if they feel it is of sufficient educational merit and meets the formal definitions of continuing medical education. OBGYN.net believes these interaction in this forum meets these criteria. For further information see the AMA web site.
