question regarding the history of sonography schools

Hello, when and where was the first Sonography school established? What were the requirements before applying?

The reason for the question is that the medical requirement prior to 18 month sonography programs is fading away. In my opinion, 18 months of clinical and sonography skills falls short of producing compitent and confident sonographers. I would like to extend our 18 month DMS program to a 2 year program if possible.

Thank you!

Jose

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.
