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).
