Sorry I know nothing of any mobile echo services. I have included my husband in this response and he will add something if he knows anything but I do not believe he does.

Jay, I may not be much help. I do know that I was approached by a company in Moussiouri (or Kansas?) in about 1978, wanting me to do mobile sonography in central Texas. I declined and the person who did take the job was killed on the job, fell asleep at the wheel of his van, appearently was working long hours. There was a company named MED'IQ Imaging Services, Inc, that for some reason I believed evolved from the eariler company, but I can not confirm this.

You need to communicate with Joan Baker, she has the best understanding of the Sonographic history of anyone I know. Also her husband, Don Baker, and Geoff Stevenson is still active...

Good luck with your project.

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.
