The field of ultrasound is always evolving, lately at a rapid pace. It is imperative to keep your skills up to date through quality continuing medical education (CME). CME is also a required component of maintaining your license/credential/certification, making it an essential part of your career. CME allows you to gain additional knowledge and expand your skills, helping you become more successful in your profession and more marketable for promotion. It also allows you to improve patient care and outcomes, which is really at the heart of why we do what we do as healthcare providers.
Quality
The quality of CME is important. CME should be up-to-date with current ultrasound practice guidelines, relevant to your clinical practice, and available in multiple formats. Gulfcoast Ultrasound Institute has been a leader in CME since 1985 and is committed to providing only the highest quality CME available. It is our goal to advance the practice of ultrasound across multiple practice specialties to improve competence, performance, and therefore patient care and outcomes. Accredited with Commendation by the ACCME, we adhere to rigorous national standards in the development and delivery of our CME.
