A Year of Growth: Highlights from 2024 & What’s Coming in 2025
Happy New Year!
As we begin 2025, I wanted to take a moment to reflect on all that we accomplished in 2024 and share our excitement for what’s ahead. Thanks to your support and collaboration, it was a year of tremendous growth for Ultrasound for Women’s Health Providers, and we couldn’t have achieved all that we did without the incredible team, volunteers, and participants who helped make it all possible.
Here’s a recap of some of the highlights from 2024:
Revamped Online Course
We launched a completely updated version of our online course, offering a more comprehensive, user-friendly curriculum. With a focus on ultrasound basics, obstetric and gynecological scanning, and practical techniques, this new version has already been received with great enthusiasm, and we’re proud to provide women’s health providers with even more robust training.
Growing Our Team of Talented Instructors
This year, we welcomed a new talented instructor to our team, bringing her expertise in ultrasound and women’s health. With her dedication to teaching, our team continues to provide top-notch, hands-on training that makes a difference in the practices of our participants.
Providing Hands-On Scanning Opportunities
We’ve provided hands-on scanning experiences to hundreds of women’s health providers across the country, both at their own facilities and through our dedicated hands-on scanning events. It’s always a privilege to see our participants gain the skills and confidence they need to enhance their practice and improve patient care.
Hosting Our Largest Hands-On Event in Pittsburgh
One of the most memorable moments of 2024 was hosting our largest hands-on scanning event ever at the Midwife Center in Pittsburgh. It was a record-breaking event, with more participants and volunteers than ever before, and it was truly inspiring to witness such a passionate community of women’s health providers learning together.
Providing Hundreds of Free Ultrasounds
In addition to our educational programs, we provided hundreds of free ultrasounds to communities in need. These events helped women gain access to essential care while providing invaluable opportunities for women’s health providers to practice their ultrasound skills. The outpouring of support from volunteers and local organizations made this possible, and we are deeply grateful.
Continuing Education
In 2024, we worked diligently to secure continuing education credits from the American Association of Nurse Practitioners (AANP), ensuring that our participants could earn CE credits for our online courses and hands-on scanning events. We continue to collaborate with the American College of Nurse Midwives (ACNM) to provide CEUs, making sure that women’s health providers can keep advancing in their careers while mastering Point-of-Care Ultrasound (POCUS). We are thrilled to offer these opportunities, so our participants can expand their knowledge and stay current in their field.
Looking Ahead to 2025
As we move into 2025, we are more committed than ever to expanding our reach and continuing to improve the quality of ultrasound education for women’s health providers. We have exciting plans in store, including the addition of more instructional videos of ultrasound scans to our online courses. If you already own our courses, you’ll have free lifetime access to all of these updates, so you can continue to grow and learn with us. If you’d like to join the courses, you can find them HERE.
We’ve also already sold out our Tucson event and are close to selling out our Phoenix event in March as well! If you’re interested in joining us in Phoenix, there are still a few tickets left—grab yours HERE.
Thank you for being an essential part of this journey. We’re excited to continue this work with you and look forward to another incredible year.
Warmly,
