Competency Scans

by Sanctity of Human Life Dept

This program is on-site, hands-on and provided by the Focus on the Family approved trainer, Sonography Now.
The Option Ultrasound Program is now offering to cover 80% of the cost for one of five training packages.

One-week Training-$4,000—it is recommended that Sonography Now provide this one-week training after the medical professional has completed 30 supervised scans with a local RDMS. This enables Sonography Now to certify the medical professional in limited ultrasound and to offer post-training consultation.

Two-week Training-$8,000—Successful completion of this two-week training course certifies the medical professional to begin independent limited ultrasound scanning. Ultrasound will impact the volunteers and counseling practices of the center, and Sonography Now facilitates the smooth transition to becoming a Medical Center.

Advance Training-$8,000—This advanced, two-week program includes four days of didactic work as well as the execution of newly acquired scanning skills in the first week. The second four-day week is scheduled one month later to allow the medical professional time to utilize new skills and formulate questions. A competency scan concludes the second week of training.

All Pregnancy Medical Clinics in the Option Ultrasound Program provide limited obstetrical ultrasound as medically indicated. Clinics are licensed to operate under the supervision of a physician, using only trained sonographers. Focus on the Family does not endorse the use of ultrasound outside of a medical clinic setting and does not endorse the use of ultrasound for non-medical reasons. Patient referrals are made to physicians for follow-up diagnosis and care as needed.
