President’s Message: Celebrating Medical Ultrasound Awareness Month Together

Dear Sonographers, Healthcare Professionals, and members of the Cardiovascular Community,

Each October, we come together to celebrate Medical Ultrasound Awareness Month (MUAM), a time dedicated to increasing awareness of diagnostic medical sonography and the invaluable role sonographers play in our healthcare system. This year’s theme, “Sonography Squad,” reflects the collective strength and unity of our community as we continue to advance cardiovascular care through innovation, expertise, and dedication.

At CCI, we take immense pride in being a globally recognized provider of credentialing programs for cardiovascular professionals. Our mission is to support and validate the specialized knowledge and skills required for cardiac sonographers to excel in their field. The credentials offered by CCI are more than just certifications—they are a testament to your commitment to excellence and your unwavering passion for cardiovascular care.

Throughout the month of October, and indeed throughout the year, we celebrate you—the sonographers who devote their careers to ensuring that patients receive the highest quality of care. Your expertise in using ultrasound technology to diagnose and monitor conditions is critical to saving lives and improving patient outcomes.

As we mark this occasion, I encourage each of you to reflect on the impact of your work. From early diagnosis to ongoing patient management, your role is essential in the continuum of care. Your dedication not only enhances the health and well-being of individuals but also strengthens the fabric of our healthcare system.

To our “Sonography Squad,” thank you for your tireless efforts, your pursuit of excellence, and your compassion for patients. Your work is not just a job; it is a calling that makes a difference every single day.

We at CCI pledge to continue supporting you with the resources, education, and recognition you deserve. Together, we will advance our field, inspire future generations of sonographers, and elevate the standard of cardiovascular care.

Happy Medical Ultrasound Awareness Month!

Warm regards,

J. Todd Belcik, BS, ACS, RCS, RDCS, FASE
