Imaging Department managers January, 2007 To Whom It May Concern: In my managerial and clinical roles with South East Radiology I have had extensive experience with the Australian School of Medical Imaging (ASMI). Through our association with ASMI we have been able to fill long standing vacancies and enhance the delivery of ultrasound services in a number of regional centers on the South Coast of New South Wales. As Chief Sonographer I have direct responsibility for the Sonography staff of South East Radiology. Our company currently has five graduates of the ASMI Post Graduate Program in Medical Ultrasound in full time clinical positions as Trainee Sonographers. The ASMI trainees came to us with well developed clinical skills and awareness of patient care and cross infection. In addition the ASMI faculty and management have provided excellent ongoing support for the trainees and the supervising staff. It certainly has been beneficial to our company and the local community that we have accepted the ASMI trainees and I would recommend that all managers of imaging departments consider the benefits for their organisation. It is of great benefit to the Sonography profession that a training facility such as ASMI has been established. Timothy Alchin |
