Specialty PackagesIndividual clinical certifications test your knowledge and expertise within a specific clinical area
Each Clinical Certification is comprised of two assessments: a clinical case-based assessment and peer evaluation. Case-based assessments present clinical scenarios with ultrasound media and assessment questions embedded throughout. A peer evaluation is a short questionnaire that is completed by a healthcare provider who is familiar with your ability to obtain clinically-relevant, content-specific POCUS images. Clinicals can be purchased individually or you can save money by purchasing one of our bundles, organized by Specialty.
