It is my understanding that ICAVL will recognize both ARDMS and CCI to eliminate
any perception of a monopoly by ARDMS.

different organizations may have different motivations for offering
examinations to ultrasound professionals.  ultimately, it is the individuals
in the field who determine which credential is the preferred credential.
what if an organization offered an examination and no one sat for the
exam...the credential would not be around for very long!

Why do we have 2 and I hear soon to be 3 organizations involved in the
credentialing of vascular and cardiac sonographers?  Also, why do we have so
many organizations supposedly representing our interests - are their
professional and medical differences or is it all just politics?
