Education

ISUOG provides educational opportunities to its members, including its Intensive Education Course program and extensive online education resources. ISUOG also provides support for groups and regions with lesser resources, through its free Trainee membership program and via membership inclusion for international education courses approved by ISUOG (ISUOG Approved courses).

Outreach

ISUOG's first Outreach program was developed with the support of the World Health Organization (WHO) and funding from the National Center for Fetal Medicine (NCFM, Norway), and Norwegian government. The first Outreach course took place in Manila, the Philippines, in 1996.

Outreach is committed to improving maternal healthcare services in underserved regions of the world by:

  • Promoting and providing high-quality education in ultrasound in obstetrics and gynecology
  • Improving the availability of ultrasound
  • Increasing the potential to diagnose life-threatening obstetric complications and gynecological conditions
  • "Training trainers"

Since its foundation, ISUOG Outreach has trained more than 130 professionals in countries including Mongolia, Ghana, Somaliland, Haiti and South Africa, as well as resourcing projects to help Australia's aboriginal communities and refugee communities in Syria and Lebanon.

Membership and governance

ISUOG's international membership, including its Board of twenty Trustees, Editorial Board and Committee members, collaborate to develop education and training programs, and disseminate scientific research in support of the Society's mission to improve maternal health. The Trustees of the charity (also Directors of the company) are responsible for the financial and strategic direction of the Society.

ISUOG has more than 9000 registered members in 126 countries, including a group of 16 Ambassadors and more than 80 Advisory members who have been appointed to provide feedback on new activities and to ensure more representation of ISUOG's international membership in Society decisions.

ISUOG employs a team of 12 full or part-time staff, who are based at the Secretariat offices in Freston Road, West London.

Mission and objectives

ISUOG works with a mission to improve the health of women and their families through the broadest dissemination of the highest quality education and scientific information. The Society's long-term vision is for every woman in the world to have access to ultrasound, every scan provider to be competent and where the diagnosis of obstetric and gynecological conditions is effective so that women's healthcare outcomes improve.
