Description
This 2-day course is designed for sonographers to both maintain their competency and to progress in their imaging skills.
It is important to keep your skills up-to-date and advancing. Whether you trained with Sparrow Solutions Group (SSG) initially or used another training organization, we are here to provide that advancement.
Both the ANA Code of Ethics for nurses and the SDMS Code of Ethics for sonographers require that one stays competent in their area of practice. To stay competent, continuing education is key. This course provides the sonographer with hands-on scanning, updates on imaging trends, review of Interpretation Ready Imaging℠ (IRI℠), and fulfills continuing education requirements.
As a new sonographer or an experienced sonographer, it is important to document your continued competency through an outside source or consultant. A consultant from SSG brings multiple things to you and your organization.
As instructors who serve PMCs nationally, we bring a unique understanding of your patient. As instructors committed to the growth and development of others, we take seriously our own continued improvement. As instructors entrusted to steward your education resources, we are continually enhancing our offerings.

- The Sparrow contract legally binds us to do what we promise.
- Sparrow provides pre-consultation tools and accountability to equip the PMC to have a successful sonography training.
- Sparrow participates in multiple medical conferences each year so that we are able to educate PMCs about the latest medical imaging and patient care trends.
- Sparrow’s involvement with PMCs nationally and internationally gives us insight and perspective on minimizing risk.
- We provide training with a holistic approach: scanning with the spiritual, emotional, physical, and social needs of the patient in the forefront.
- Sparrow incorporates life-affirming language into the technical aspect of imaging in a PMC.

Each student is given a Sparrow Sonography competency exam at the end of the training. The results of the exam are a representation of the student’s scanning abilities and knowledge. The exam is not an indicator of a student’s future success as a sonographer; it simply indicates whether a student is prepared to continue to the next level of training. It is the responsibility of each student to continue learning and practicing to improve his or her skills. Sparrow Sonography suggests that the medical director of each clinic assess each individual student’s scanning skills before any student is approved to scan independently. Clinics should seek legal counsel to ensure compliance with state requirements regarding ultrasound scanning.
