USI offers free ultrasounds for moms-to-be

HENDERSON, Ky. (WEHT) — The University of Southern Indiana’s Diagnostic Medical Sonography announces new opportunity for mothers to receive free ultrasounds.

Officials with USI say this program is offering “non-diagnostic ultrasounds” for mothers in their second or third trimester.

DMS Instructor Jordan Thomason says the collaboration will be an opportunity for students to enhance their skills before starting their clinical rotations.

“With our state-of-the-art lab and 3D probes, students can practice various scanning techniques and protocols with direct patient interaction under the guidance of an instructor,” says Thomason.

Thomason notes the sessions are beneficial for not just the students, but for the moms-to-be as well.

“Most women enjoy knowing they are helping with our students’ education and are always excited to get another peek at their babies,” she says. “Also, getting to see a live baby on the screen is a wonderful opportunity for our students.”
