AIUM offers new OB/GYN video programs, free online access to developing countries
The
American Institute of Ultrasound in Medicine
(AIUM of Laurel, Md) has just released new CME video programs for purchase. These three comprehensive ultrasound courses—available on video, CD-ROM, and DVD—are designed to meet the educational needs of obstetricians, gynecologists, radiologists, sonographers, and other healthcare professionals:
•
New Developments in Fetal Doppler Sonography
, which offers up to 1.75 CME credits, discusses clinical applications of Doppler sonography in obstetrics and introduces 3-D and 4-D sonography as a new tool that complements Doppler studies.
•
Three-Dimensional Fetal Sonography: An Update offers 1.5 CME credits. Following this program, viewers should be able to describe at least five examples of the diagnostic benefits of 3-D fetal sonography; explain how 3-D and 4-D sonographic techniques can be used to evaluate the fetal heart; list practice strategies for incorporating 3-D sonography with routine obstetric scanning; and cite basic conclusions of the 2005 AIUM Consensus Panel on 3-D ultrasound in obstetrics and gynecology.
•
Three-Dimensional Ultrasound in Gynecology
offers up to 1.5 CME credits, and viewers will learn how to acquire optimal images of the uterus with 3-D ultrasound and understand the clinical use of 3-D ultrasound in the uterus.
With the purchase of any of these programs, up to five individuals may earn CME credits at no additional charge. To place an order or for more information, visit
www.aium.org.
Additionally, to make up-to-date and accurate information available to all ultrasound individuals nationally and internationally, the AIUM has launched a new program that provides free online access to the
Journal of Ultrasound in Medicine
(JUM) to many developing countries.
The AIUM will finance this program through its JUM online vendor, HighWire Press. Those that live in one of the 65 countries identified by the World Bank as a low-income economical area —such as Afghanistan, Indonesia, Haiti, and Uzbekistan —are eligible to take full advantage of the free access. The system is set up to recognize the country's IP address to allow access to articles.
