We’re all running around madly…

as we make the final preparations for the Australasian Sonographers Association Conference. We’ve got prizes and giveaways galore so be sure to visit booth number 21 – and be in to win.

We’re looking forward to catching up with everyone and chatting about how we can both advance sonographer education and provide support to clinical supervisors.

News worth checking out this week:

• Ultrasound-Guided In-Plane Subclavian Vein Puncture versus Prior Ultrasound and Landmark Technique: A Randomized Controlled Trial in Anesthesia and Analgesia (22 May)
• Agentic Artificial Intelligence in Medical Imaging Education: Architectural Autonomy and the Risk of Cognitive Surrender in the Journal of Medical Radiation Sciences (17 May)

Better go – have plenty of packing to do!

Keep your probes clean and the gel warm.

Mike and Suean

P.S. If you have students or trainees who are struggling to grasp physics core concepts – or who just can’t see how the math applies to the probe in their hand – be sure to get them to check out our brand-new Ultrasound Physics Simplified Online Module 🚀- the perfect gift that will keep on giving.

Make 2026 your year of ultrasound and check out our range of
scheduled and one-on-one options that will get you scanning like a pro.
If you know the value of protected learning time, secure your place early.

P.S. – don’t forget – if something doesn’t quite fit your learning objectives or availability we can design and deliver a program that meets your needs. Don’t tell everyone though – availability is limited.

24% of #ultrasound trainees face mental illness
39% of supervisors don’t have time to teach

Trainees & supervisors deserve better #Zedu has the blueprint to fix this now

Heading to #ASA2026GC?
Let’s catch up & talk about how we can change this
