What are your Goals for the AIUM?
The future of the AIUM lies in the ubiquitous use of ultrasound in medicine and the inclusion of all those who bring ultrasound to medical practice. The AIUM is the place where scientists, engineers, sonographers, physicians, and all those interested in ultrasound gather to share ideas and develop relationships to promote the safe and effective use of medical ultrasound. The AIUM should continually take a lead role in national and international promotion of ultrasound. The AIUM should provide the intersection point for many different disciplines in ultrasound and serve to breakdown barriers to the wider use of ultrasound in medicine.
