include a URL to your website where the complete 

job advertisement can be found). Each job posting 

is limited to one job title and one job description at 

one location. However, you can post as many jobs 

as you wish in the forum. 

All job advertisements are automatically removed 

from the forum after 60 days. If a job is still 

open after 60 days, you must re-post your job 

advertisement. If you fill the position, please 

DELETE your posting as soon as possible so you 

will not continue to be contacted by SDMS members 

seeking the position. Job advertisements appearing 

in other discussion forums will be deleted. 

All SDMS members may view the job postings. 

However, rather than having potential candidates

Letter From the President 

By Shannon Boswell, BS, RDMS, RDCS, RVT, FSDMS 


New Mexico Licensure Bill Sets New Standard 

In early April the SDMS announced that New Mexico 

had become the first state in the country to establish 

a licensure law for sonographers. New Mexico 

Governor, Billy Richardson, signed the bill into law on 

April 6. This is a historic benchmark for our profession. 

Prior to the passage of the New Mexico licensure 

law anyone could perform sonograms in the state, 

regardless of qualifications, education, or certification. 

The unregulated environment for sonography in New 

Mexico has been changed irrevocably, and for the 

better. The New Mexico licensure law sets educational 

and certification standards for medical imaging 

professionals, including sonographers. It is a good law 

for patients, providers, and the profession. We now 

have a model to point other states to as they consider 

changing the licensure environment for sonographers 

within their own state. The commitment to establish 

appropriate standards for those who choose to practice 

in our profession has been and continues to be, the 

cornerstone of our strategic plan. The continued 

evolution of sonography as a profession is dependent, 

in large part, on our being successful with the 

establishment of certification and education standards. 

As for education standards, a significant step was taken 

in that direction with the completion of the National 

Education Curriculum (NEC) last year. This was a 

SDMS facilitated process that resulted in the creation 

of a national curriculum for sonography education 

programs throughout the country. Having continuity in 

the sonography educational curriculum is one side of 

the sonography quality-standards coin; the other side of 

that coin is certification. In the case of New Mexico, the 

certification standard took the form of state licensure. To 

learn more about the New Mexico Licensure law, visit : 

http://www.sdms.org/news/newmexico.asp. 

We have been asked if the passage of the New 

Mexico licensure law represents a change in course 

or strategy by the SDMS (federal-level certification). 

The short answer to that question is, ‘no’. SDMS 

remains committed to the establishment of federal-level 

certification standards, and will continue to pursue this 

goal with the introduction of the CARE Bill in the 111 th 

Congress. However, what can be said regarding statebased 

efforts targeted at licensure is that SDMS, along 

with the Sonography Licensure Coalition (SLC), will be 

closely monitoring state-based proposals as they arise. 

Historically, SDMS has opposed specific efforts to create 

state-by-state licensure for sonographers, and instead 

focused its attention 

and resources on 

developing federal 

certification standards. 

However, at the state 

level it is clear that 

we are seeing an 

increased level of 

frustration with the unregulated nature of sonography 

and its potential consequences for bad patient 

outcomes and healthcare cost inefficiency. This statelevel 

frustration has begun to express itself in the form 

of proposed ‘legislative fixes’; and while often wellintentioned, 

the initial statutory language has not always 

been sufficient to adequately address the problem. 

Where these initial legislative fixes have fallen short of 

the mark SDMS has intervened, and will continue to do 

so, to ensure that the best interests of our members and 

the patients that they serve is addressed. 

SDMS is vigilant in monitoring legislative and regulatory 

activity at the state level. It is an integral part of what 

we do to protect your profession, your career interests, 

and provide for public safety. While it may be true that 

the majority of sonographers have little understanding 

of, appreciation for, or interest in advocacy work, the 

fact is that SDMS maintains a highly competent team 

of professionals to monitor and respond to legislative 

threats and opportunities. It is also our responsibility 

to keep the membership informed about legislative 

and regulatory changes that can potentially affect our 

members. It is the members’ responsibility to remain 

knowledgeable by reading the periodic updates that are 

provided in SDMS publications. 

We are learning our lessons about the nuances of 

state-based licensure efforts, and one key lesson that 

we have learned is this…it is critical that the local 

membership notify and involve the SDMS office as early 

in the process as possible. As always, we welcome and 

value member input. I can be reached at sboswell@ 

sdms.org. Questions regarding state-based issues 

should be directed to dkerns@sdms.org at the SDMS 

office. 

Sincerely, 

Shannon Boswell 

President, SDMS


Sonographers At Risk 

According to the National Institute of Occupational Safety 

and Health (NIOSH), sonographers are at risk for developing 

work-related musculoskeletal disorders such as inflammation 

of the tendons (tendonitis) or tendon sheaths (tenosynovitis), 

bursitis, muscle strains, and pathology of the nerves in the upper 

extremities, neck, and back. NIOSH recommends appropriate 

engineering controls, work practices, hazard communication, 

and training to prevent these work-related musculoskeletal 

disorders.

SDMS Fellow 

Spotlight 


This is a continuing series of interviews of 

our distinguished SDMS Fellow members. 

Jackie Carlson, BA, 

RDMS, RDCS, FSDMS 

Year awarded fellow 

status: 1995 

Current position: 

Sonographer Services, 

Dallas 

What inspired you to 

start your career in 

sonography? 

Sonography chose me. My first job in the field was 

in 1965 as a research assistant in the lab of Joseph 

H. Holmes, MD, at the University of Colorado 

Medical Center in Denver. I had two research 

assistant job offers there. One was working 

Monday to Friday and Saturday morning and killing 

rabbits to examine their brains and the other was 

Monday to Friday, no Saturdays for the same 

salary. The choice was easy especially since Dr. 

Holmes seemed like a nice man who had pictures 

in his billfold of scans of dogs taken in a waterbath 

machine. My next job in 1967 was for group 

of neurosurgeons and neurologists in Lynwood, 

CA, primarily performing echoencephalograms 

and abdominal sonograms looking for metastatic 

disease. I left the field from 1969-1974. In 1975, I 

started working at a new hospital in New Orleans 

that had state-of-the-art ultrasound equipment 

(articulated arm gray scale.) I have worked in 

sonography ever since. I moved to Dallas in 

1983 and was associated with Marveen Craig, 

RDMS, FSDMS, at the International Ultrasound 

Institute and in the 1990s I taught at El Centro 

Community College. In 1987, I started my own 

business, Sonographer Services, to provide sono 

and echo vacation relief services and to educate 

sonographers. I work part-time and enjoy keeping 

my hand in. 

What was the most significant advance in 

ultrasound technology that you directly 

experienced? 

I have seen many changes in the last 44 years. The 

first machine took two people to operate and was, 

of course, bi-stable. We would write the patent’s 

name on Scotch tape and put it on the screen 

so we could identify the images. Next came the 

articulated arm, still bi-stable. We have progressed 

to gray scale, real-time, spectral Doppler, color 

and power Doppler, 3D, 4D and laptop units. Now 

ultrasound is in space. In the echo arena, we 

started with A-mode, then M-mode, to 2D gray 

scale and all the different Doppler technologies. 

Hard copy documentation has changed from timelapse 

Polaroid pictures that had to be coated using 

a little sticky stick to all digital. The technology 

I enjoy the most (not counting better images) is 

digital imaging. No more cassettes and dark rooms, 

what a time-saver! 

What changes do you predict for the field in the 

immediate future? 

Only our imagination limits what the future holds. 

Many of the applications we use now, the pioneers 

in the field had envisioned but they were limited by 

the technology. 

What advice would you give to students/future 

sonographers? 

Get used to change. The best first job would be in a 

busy hospital department during a shift that allows 

you to work with an experienced sonographer. You 

can never know everything but the more curious 

you are, the more you learn. 

What’s your favorite part of your job? 

My favorite part is being able to customize each 

study for the patient to ferret out the needed 

information to help the doctor make a diagnosis. 

I know I have helped save lives by aiding in an 

early diagnosis. I don’t have any plans on total 

retirement. It’s just too interesting and I want to be 

there for the next big change.

New Member Scan 


This month’s New 

Member Scan profile 

takes us out of the 

United States and to 

China. Juqian Zhang 

is a sonographer/ 

physician in Chengdu, 

the capital of Sichuan 

Province in China. 

Chengdu has an 

important industrial 

base, with an area 

of 12,390 square 

kilometers and a 

population of 9.4 million, but it may be most familiar 

because of the 7.8 magnitude earthquake suffered 

in that region in May 2008. Dr. Zhang is recently 

married, has finished her college and graduate 

study at the West China College of Clinical Medicine 

of Sichuan University, and received her medical 

license last year. Dr. Zhang made the following 

observation regarding the differences in the clinical 

aspects of sonography in the United States and 

China, “Since the working system of diagnostic 

ultrasound is quite different in China from that in the 

US, I work as [the] sonographer and interpreting 

physician as well.” 

Dr. Zhang joined SDMS to get more information 

and opportunities in sonography. She says, “Since 

we are trained in China, the knowledge and skills 

taught are somewhat different from those taught in 

the States, and I find it very rewarding to be able to 

join SDMS. I have learned a lot from the webinars 

and conference materials posted on the website.” 

Regarding the future of sonography, Dr. Zhang 

hopes that “the SDMS will develop standardized 

practice guidelines and instructions, especially for 

foreign sonographers.” She explains that although 

these guidelines may seem to be too basic for 

sonographers in the US, they are the core of 

everyday practice in China. 

Many thanks to Dr. Zhang for sharing her history 

and unique insights. Welcome to the SDMS! 

Join us this October at the Gaylord Opryland 

Resort in Nashville, TN October 15-18, for 

the 2009 SDMS Annual Conference! Relax at 

the Relache Spa after lectures or take a Delta 

Riverboat Tour through nine acres of indoor 

gardens—and that’s just at the resort! Get out 

and walk next door to the Grand Ole Opry, 

take in a round of golf at Gaylord Springs or 

take a ride on the General Jackson showboat. 

Music City has never looked so good! 

Save the Date – You don’t want to miss
