Call for Participants: Prospective Cohort Study on the Impact of Diagnostic Ultrasound

The  NMSKUS SIG is initiating a prospective cohort study to investigate the impact of diagnostic ultrasound when used as an extension of the clinical examination.  We are currently seeking interested clinicians to participate in this important research effort.  

Eligibility Criteria:
To participate, clinicians must:

• Be actively using diagnostic ultrasound in clinical practice as part of their physical examination process.
