PAPERLESS APPLICATION PROGRAM - PREREQUISITE 2
We now offer a Paperless Application Program to all students that apply under the Prerequisite 2 pathway. This exciting program includes time-saving benefits for CAAHEP and CMA Program Directors.

ARDMS EDUCATOR POWERPOINT PRESENTATIONS
ARDMS has developed PowerPoint presentations that educators can use when discussing ARDMS. They include:
• Discover ARDMS
• ARDMS Application Overview
• ARDMS Examination Security
The presentations are the property of ARDMS and can only be used in an educational setting; they cannot be distributed.
To request one, two or all three presentations, please email EducatorResources@inteleos.org.
Earlier this year, ARDMS launched Real Talk Sonography – a five-part video series that looks at sonography through the stories, insights and emotions of real 20+ sonographers.
We encourage you to share these videos with your students so they may learn more about the community they’ve joined. We hope they will offer insight into this “secretive club” of amazing healthcare professionals!
