The company was founded in 2011 by physicians and medical educators to address the growing need for ultrasound training in healthcare. History2000 to 2007: SonoSim OriginsIn 2004, researchers at University of California Los Angeles developed a personal computer-based medical simulator to address medical education challenges that The UCLA Center for International Medicine (CIM) identified on prior medical missions.[1][2] 2007 to 2011: Early DevelopmentIn 2007, Pelagique, LLC received Phase I funding from the Small Business Innovation Development Act’s SBIR program through the US Department of Defense.[3] It was to address governmental need for ultrasound education, specifically within the United States military for combat casualty care providers.[3] Pelagique’s Phase I work began that same year,[3] there was a need for hand-carried ultrasonography as a frontline tool for military care providers in Iraq and Afghanistan. In 2008, Phase II, team members acquired detailed video footage of the management and care of severe battlefield injuries in Iraq (e.g., IED-related injuries).[3] The video footage was used to create a real case-based training curriculum to prepare military care providers for future deployments.[4] This training program (including training DVDs and a companion textbook, Combat Casualty Care: Lessons Learned in OEF and OIF) was distributed in 2010 at the 2010 Advanced Technology Applications to Combat Casualty Care(ATACCC) conference.[3][5] This curriculum was then integrated into standard per-deployment training for United States Army medical personnel and allied countries. 2011 to PresentIn 2011, SBIR Phase III involved Pelagique establishing SonoSim Inc. to domestically distribute its products, the SonoSimulator and the SonoSim Ultrasound Training Solution.[3][6] Medical School IntegrationSonoSim has been integrated into several US medical school curricula, most notably the Western University of Health Sciences[7] and the University of Kentucky College of Medicine.[8] SonoSim is currently used in over 300 medical institutions with over 10,000 total users.[9] International OperationsIn October 2013, SonoSim International was launched by SonoSim International President, Derek McLeish.[10] In September 2014, SonoSim entered into a partnership with Laerdal Corporation, a provider of training, educational, and therapy products for emergency medical care.[11] As of December 2014, SonoSim has developed a distributor network in 29 countries.[12] SonoSim works with global charitable organizations such as SANA Medical NGO. In March 2016, SANA received a SonoSim Edition through a grant from the Elmer and Mamdouha Bobst Foundation.[13] SANA has been using SonoSim to teach nurse midwives how to perform ultrasound following the International Society of Ultrasound in Obstetrics and Gynecology (USUOG) Six-Step Approach. AwardsIn 2012, Combat Casualty Care: Lessons Learned in OEF and OIF (2010)—the textbook created as part of Phase II efforts—received a Washington Book Publishers Award.[14] References1. ^{{cite web|last1=Fleming|first1=Nora|title=Closing the Medical Knowledge Gap Worldwide|url=http://www.malibutimes.com/news/article_29b093fa-6d64-5472-aba4-bd56bac1038a.html|website=The Malibu Times|publisher=The Malibu Times|accessdate=25 November 2014}} 2. ^{{cite web|last1=Durden|first1=Nicole|last2=Savitsky|first2=Eric|title=Building Bridges to the World: The Convergence of Global Health, Digital Media, and Technology|url=http://cim.ucla.edu/images/UCLACIM_BuildingBridges.pdf|publisher=The UCLA Center for International Medicine|accessdate=25 November 2014}} 3. ^1 2 3 4 5 {{cite journal|last1=Bernstein|first1=Brian|last2=Katz|first2=Dan|last3=Savitsky|first3=Eric|title=Bridging the Chasm: The Role of the SBIR Program|journal=MEdSim Magazine|date=2014|issue=5|pages=22–26|url=http://issuu.com/halldale/docs/medsim_5_2014/22?e=1283403/9996543|accessdate=25 November 2014}} 4. ^{{cite news|last1=Perry|first1=Tony|title=UCLA develops training videos for military doctors|url=http://articles.latimes.com/2010/sep/27/local/la-me-trauma-video-20100927|accessdate=27 October 2015|work=LA Times|publisher=Los Angeles Times|date=September 27, 2010}} 5. ^{{cite web|title=Specialty Clinical Publications|url=http://www.cs.amedd.army.mil/borden/Portlet.aspx?id=0d4977be-d91a-41c3-8580-c29fdba6f257|website=AMEDD Center & School|publisher=U.S. Army Medical Department|accessdate=25 November 2014}} 6. ^{{cite web|title=SonoSim Training Module System|url=https://www.fbo.gov/index?s=opportunity&mode=form&id=30413ac1939e84e3715bf5845c8292a1&tab=core&_cview=0|website=Federal Business Opportunities|publisher=Office of E-Government & Information Technology|accessdate=25 November 2014}} 7. ^{{cite web|title=COMP implements innovative solution for medical student ultrasound training|last1=Malet|first1=Jeff|url=http://news.westernu.edu/comp-implements-innovative-solution-for-medical-student-ultrasound-training/|website=WesternU News|publisher=Western University School of Health Sciences|accessdate=17 October 2016}} 8. ^{{cite web|title=SonoSim® Ultrasound Training|url=https://meded.med.uky.edu/spotlight/sonosim%C2%AE-ultrasound-training|website=University of Kentucky Office of Medical Education|publisher=University of Kentucky Office of Medical Education|accessdate=17 October 2016}} 9. ^{{cite web|title=SonoSim Client List|url=https://sonosim.com/our-clients/|website=SonoSim|publisher=SonoSim, Inc.|accessdate=6 February 2017}} 10. ^{{cite web|title=SonoSim® Goes Global, Launches International Group|url=http://www.prweb.com/releases/2013/10/prweb11276152.htm|website=PRWeb|publisher=Vocus PRW Holdings, LLC.|accessdate=25 November 2014}} 11. ^{{cite web|last1=Ponoroff|first1=Lori|title=Laerdal and SonoSim Partner to Help Save Lives|url=http://halldale.com/news/medical/laerdal-and-sonosim-partner-help-save-lives#.VISRkmTF93o|website=MEdSim Magazine|publisher=Halldale Group|accessdate=7 December 2014}} 12. ^{{cite web|title=Announcements|url=http://sonosim.com/category/blog/announcements/|website=SonoSim Blog|publisher=SonoSim, Inc.|accessdate=8 December 2014}} 13. ^{{cite web|title=Sustain, Aid, Nurture, and Assist (SANA) with SonoSim in Lebanon|url=http://sonosim.com/2016/07/sustain-aid-nurture-and-assist-sana-with-sonosim-in-lebanon/|website=SonoSim|publisher=SonoSim, Inc.|accessdate=17 October 2016}} 14. ^{{cite web|last1=Jones|first1=Timothy|title=Borden Institute wins two publishing awards from Washington book publishers|url=http://www.army.mil/article/102348/Borden_Institute_wins_two_publishing_awards_from_Washington_book_publishers/|website=www.army.mil|publisher=The United States Army|accessdate=25 November 2014}} External links
