The Only Comprehensive Course in Sonographic Ergonomics
This 5-star Course, rated by current and former student grads, dives deep into the physical and intellectual demand expected of diagnostic medical sonographers.
This course delivers key insights into the ways sonographers can optimize their workspaces and employ best-practice techniques to reduce physical strain by understanding the science of ergonomics blended with biomechanical principles.
Participants gain a cognitive awareness of active and static posture, positioning, and movements during diagnostic image acquisition and train on how to maintain long-term sonographer shoulder health and career longevity.
With real-world applications through case studies and interactive sessions, whether in outpatient clinic or hospital setting, sonographers learn practical solutions that can be immediately implemented to achieve safety in sonography from module one throughout their healthcare career

What's Different About #Teamsono?
The intellectual and physical stamina needed in sonography poses a high risk for mental burnout and physical injury. Our goal is to encourage, educate and empower sonographers and other healthcare providers to connect their mind and muscles to optimize their entire being so they are best equipped to serve others.
**We want y'all to remain the providers and not become the patients =)
Why Do I Need
Ergo-Mechanics?
Ergonomics and body biomechanics are critical to understand jointly when thinking of how to prevent injury in healthcare. To train in just one is to ignore half the battle.
Comprehensive
We use a comprehensive approach to our course content that includes peer reviewed and holistic materials.
Practical
Real-World Applications of Ergonomic Principles in Diagnostic Medical Sonography for a range of specialties and clinical settings.
Insightful
Learn what is not openly said, but what you are expected to know to avoid injury and provide exceptional patient care.
