What is the difference between a Study Group and a Local Ultrasound Society?
A Study Group (also known as in-service provider) consists of individuals employed by a specific institution (e.g., hospital, medical/imaging center, clinic or physician’s office, urgent care center, etc. or satellite facilities owned by the sponsor/provider and in the same geographic area) that conduct continuing education for its employees only. Local Ultrasound Society is an organization or group comprised of individuals from multiple institutions (e.g., hospital, medical/imaging center, clinic or physician’s office, urgent care center) and/or multiple geographic areas) that conduct continuing education meetings/activities.
