Job Title:
Diagnostic Procedures Technology III / Sonographer - Maternal Fetal Medicine

Position #: - Requisition 39098

Job Summary:

The Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Division of Maternal Fetal Medicine, at the University of Colorado has an opening for a MFM sonographer between a 0.5 - 0.9 FTE. This position will provide support to the freestanding Maternal Fetal Medicine clinic, located in Fort Collins. This position will cross-cover other sites located in Downtown Denver, Littleton and Parker on an as-needed basis.

This position reports directly to the MFM Practice Manager and indirectly to the Medical Directors and the Division Administrative Director.

This position will be scheduled Monday through Friday, 8:00 am to 4:30 pm or 8:30 am to 5 pm with no on-call obligation. Each MFM clinic has two sonographers onsite each day. Each sonographer covers one room with an average of 8 patient scans per day. Each clinic has either GE Voluson
22 or GE Voluson E10s with ViewPoint reporting software that interfaces with EPIC for our EMR system. We follow AIUM guidelines for our ultrasound protocols and each clinic is recognized as an AIUM accredited ultrasound practice.

The MFM physicians are amazing to work with. There is an ample amount of partnership between our MFM physicians and the sonographers. After each scan, the sonographer will present the case to the MFM physician and share their perspective on the patient's case. As CU MFM is part of an academic institution, a great deal of importance is placed upon teaching and ongoing education.

CU MFM hosts a monthly Education Series for the clinical and nonclinical staff. In this series, MFM physicians present different topics, protocols, and interesting ultrasound cases. CU MFM also hosts a biennial fetal imaging ultrasound conference in partnership with Children's Hospital Colorado, which includes presentations from MFM physicians and MFM sonographers as well as a hands-on ultrasound training course.

Key Responsibilities:

* Perform independent diagnostic ultrasound examinations on "high risk obstetrical" patients who will be subsequently evaluated and treated by a Maternal Fetal Medicine attending physician

* Prepare preliminary reports for physician review, and verifying data obtained from the ultrasound
