Carolyn's journey in ultrasound began back in 1972 when she started as an RN. Back then, formal ultrasound courses were scarce, so she learned on the job from a physician. Recognizing the potential of ultrasound, Carolyn took the initiative to establish educational programs for new providers. As one of the founders of the American Registry of Diagnostic Medical Sonographers (ARDMS), Carolyn played a key role in setting standards for ultrasound education and certification.
Throughout her career, Carolyn remained dedicated to education. As a Certified Nurse Midwife (CNM), she taught nurses and midwives the ins and outs of ultrasound, including advanced techniques like the Biophysical Profile and full scope scanning. Her expertise led her to serve as the Clinical Director of Fetal Assessment at Johns Hopkins University Hospital.
In 2021, Carolyn earned the Midwife Sonography Certificate from the ARDMS, further solidifying her credentials. After retiring from clinical practice, she founded Ultrasound for Women’s Health Providers, offering hands-on scanning and comprehensive education in OB/Gyn Point of Care ultrasound.
Currently, Carolyn is a member of the ACNM Ultrasound Education Subcommittee. She also represents ACNM as a member of the Midwife Exam Group for the American Registry for Diagnostic Medical Sonographers.
Now, there is an online course that shares basic information on clinical OB/Gyn ultrasound as well as Physics of ultrasound and varied business topics including practice development, billing and coding, documentation, and liability. She travels to individual practice sites to conduct hands-on scanning education for groups of 4 or more providers.
