Why is learning ultrasound so hard?

First the bad news. It takes two years to train a new ultrasound technologist. The learning curve is long and shallow. The hand-eye-screen coordination takes a while to get used to. The machine controls have unfamiliar names and the terminology used to describe things is different.

And the good news? Given enough time and practice, good learning resources and timely quality feedback, pretty much anyone can learn to do it. The question is, are you willing to invest in your future, suffer now and gain the rewards later?

“The best time to plant a tree is twenty years ago. The second best time is now”
