Web Education Liaison Needed

The AIUM’s new Web Education Committee is seeking a Web Education Liaison for the Cardiovascular Ultrasound Community.  The liaison will coordinate with those with similar interests and with the community’s officers to provide the Web Education Committee with images and video clips for the AIUM’s practice guidelines, suggestions for webinars (including topics and speakers), and information on the online educational needs and preferences of the community’s members. 

Future goals for the Web Education Committee with which the liaison might be involved include an online lecture series, a database of interesting/unusual cases, the development of iPad apps, and formatting of AIUM publications into e-books. The sky's the limit!

If you have an interest in web education and would like to be considered for the position of Web Education Liaison for the Cardiovascular Ultrasound Community, e-mail Jenny Clark

This is a great opportunity to get involved in the AIUM and help develop new educational initiatives.
