Re: New Generation of SonographersFrom: NOWELL ONA (nowell.oms@sbcglobal.net)Thu Apr 27 16:13:26 2006
True, new generation have different ethics and more patients that they can handle sometimes (depend on ? state). But sonographers are a different breed than radiographers. Sonographers have a lot more riding on their shoulders than any allied health profession. Schools and clinical sites should emphasize on professionalism and medical ethics as their regular weekly topics. Employer should realize the important role of sonographer in accurate reading or diagnosis of the ultrasound exams. Giving sonographers the salary they deserve would help solve much of the problems. As the new generation would say, "Act accordingly to your pay!" I am not a believer of this saying but new generation is acting accordingly to this. Ex: I will only scan 7 patients per day. I don't like doing portables. I don't like special procedures. I don't like vascular studies. I don't care to learn vascular or any difficult ultrasound exams. I don't like call. I don't like to work late shift or overtime. I don't like to work on weekends. Don't call me for help if someone calls-in. I don't like to scan twin pregnancy. The first time I heard these I thought the sonographer was joking. To my surprised they were not. Most of my applicants would even mentioned it during their interviews! Any good suggestions?

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.
