As Seen On OBGYN.net!! Portable Ultrasound:  A Peek at the Future:  by Terry Dubose Interview with MSgt Cheryl Vance, RDMS by Terry Dubose   Air Force Tests Wearable Ultrasound By Master Sgt. Cheryl Vance, RDMS of the 382nd Training Squadron at Sheppard Air Force Base, Texas  Want free training as an RT, RDMS?  Consider the Air Force!   The Air Force Diagnostic Ultrasound Course is the only formal ultrasound training program in the Department of Defense. The other branches of service still train their sonographers with just on-the-job training.   People who want to get RT trained would have to enlist as a 4R031 - Diagnostic Imaging Apprentice. They go through an accredited course and are eligible to take their registry upon completion. After they get their RT, they can apply for retraining into ultrasound. They have to commit to 36 months of service for this training though. Once they have completed the ultrasound school, they are eligible to take the ARDMS exams.   The Air Force school has only been around since 1998 - so it is still pretty new, but there has been good feedback so far on it.
