A Preceptor is an experienced sonographer that has the time and ability to teach the participant the hands-on experience in performing a complete echocardiogram.

Topics should include:

• reviewing knobology
• demonstrating proper patient positioning
• following department protocols
  
• obtaining all views
• optimizing the image
  
• evaluating the participants progress
  
• completing the Competency Checkoff form
  
• sharing personal experiences in performance of the procedure
  
• urging the participant to maintain a personal log of studies

In appreciation, the Preceptor receives a free subscription to Echo-Web CME courses (a value of $275) and a certificate once the participant completes the hands-on experience.
