Trainees January, 2007 I come from a radiation therapy background and was studying ultrasound externally. While departments are keen to employ sonographers because of the nationwide shortage, they are not so keen to employ trainee sonographers because they just don't have the staff to train them. The training I received at ASMI made it possible for me to get the hands on experience and background theoretical knowledge not available through University courses. “The resources at ASMI are excellent, we all had plenty of access to the ultrasound machines, all studies are demonstrated by highly qualified tutors, and there are daily supervised and unsupervised scanning practical sessions. Three to four times a week formal in depth lectures are given, I found these invaluable. The staff at ASMI are amazing, they are all very approachable and supportive, and will guide you through passing on tips and techniques they have found helpful throughout their careers as sonographers. The course is very intense because you learn so much in a relatively short amount of time, it is also very rewarding. I am now working full time as a trainee sonographer and all of my ASMI training has made the transition into the workplace a lot easier because I have a solid base on which to build. I would encourage anyone considering doing the ASMI course to take the leap and do it, it will be the best investment you could make in your future.” Regards, Julie Noonan |
