Deeper Connections! Understanding the sonographer’s response in the pandemic era would not have been possible without meeting and connecting with a variety of people from around the globe. It helped us to think of better solutions to the real problems of sonographers.

The GreatSonographer Community is a place to build connections with someone specific to sonographer vs. a generic healthcare or nursing site. Many times, the same problem I am facing has already been solved by other sonographer teams. The community helps us connect and share information in manner that has not been available until this time.

Being a sonographer is a specialized niche that most people outside of medicine and many in medicine don’t actually know what it’s about or entails. So, it is nice to be part of a community that can relate to what the job entails and what the demands of being a sonographer are. It’s a great resource not only for learning, but also for having the ability to connect with others. It’s a great tool to use for bringing new/interesting things back to our places of employment.

For the first time, I feel like there is a community I can turn to for like-minded Echocardiographers. Whether you are looking for continued education, a mentor, fun games, or the latest technologies, this website has it all.

The GreatSonographer community fills a badly needed vacuum in the echocardiographer world. There is no substitute for the ability to see cases and hear opinions from places beyond one's workplace. This allows sonographers to mature; it allows for growth of the knowledge base. When all of the sonographers (and for that matter, physicians) don't take advantage of seeing outside cases and learning from other centers, they all end up knowing the same things, which means they all end up not knowing the same things. This forum is an antidote to educational stagnation.
