GENERAL INFORMATION

Our seminars are held inside the hotels listed on each seminars’ information page. Each attendee willing to stay at the hotel must identify themselves as an “ESP ULTRASOUND” registrant to receive the discounted ESP group rate. For an extended stay, the reduced rate may be available for two days before and after our meeting.

Attendees are required to make reservations directly with the hotel. Rooms are allocated on a first-come, first-served basis.

Please Note: To be certain to stay at the seminar hotel at ESP’s special rate, make reservations at least three weeks before the seminar. Although our special rates may be available after this date, they are not guaranteed.

Refunds are available, less a $50 administrative fee, for written cancellation received at our office three weeks prior to the original seminar selected. Refunds less than three weeks before the start of the original seminar selected are subject to a $100 cancellation fee.

No refunds are available for non-attendance or for cancellation received in our office less than ten days before the start of the original seminar selected.

Attendees may transfer to another program within the calendar year, without a cancellation fee.

The following items are included with your seminar registration fee:

1. Registry review workbook (handed out during on site registration).

While audio recording at our seminars are accepted, video recording or photography are forbidden. Anyone found in violation of this policy will be removed from class for the remainder of the seminar and the recording device (Smartphones, tablets, video camera or the like) will be confiscated.

Concerning audio recordings, our instructors expect that these recordings are limited to personal use and erased after passing the exam.

ESP Ultrasound partners with the Society of Diagnostic Medical Sonographers (SDMS) to grant CME credits for attending our seminars. After attending the seminar and upon completion of the ESP seminar survey, we will upload our attendance roster to the SDMS. The SDMS will e-mail your CME certificate(s) to you within 1 – 3 weeks following the seminar. Please ensure to check your spam and junk folders.

If you are an SDMS member and your correct certification number is in the SDMS system (ARDMS, ARRT, CCI), then the SDMS will automatically report your CME to the credentialing body. However, it is each sonographers’ responsibility to ensure their CME records are current and accurate.

There are various reasons you may not have received your CME certificate. It may be in your spam or junk folder, your e-mail information with the SDMS is incorrect, or security settings on your mail server may have prevented the e-mail from coming through. In the event you do not receive your CME certificate e-mail three weeks following the seminar, you can contact the SDMS learning department here. You may also call them at 1-800-229-9506. They will resend your CME certificate via e-mail.

Your X-ZONE access will be setup by the end-of-the day Wednesday following the seminar (within 3 business days).
