The sonographer community desperately needs ARDMS to protect our interests interests at the federal and state level through increased advocacy efforts. After bear 20 years in this profession, myself and many others do not feel heard, valued or respected.
Sonographers are the unsung heroes of the medical field but if the blatant abuse of many in this profession continues it is not worth the mental and physical burnout. Ultimately if there are no changes made there is no real reason to continue in this profession. We are strong in asking ARDMS to:
Stop increasing our dues until full financial transparency is provided.
2. Full public accounting — Publish annual reports showing exactly where sonographer fees are spent.
3. Oversight & accountability — Create a member-led committee to review budgets and spending.
4. Direct reinvestment — Fund legislative efforts for workload regulation, workplace safety and fair pay.
5. Rebalance priorities — Executive pay should not grow while members’ needs are ignored.
We save lives every day, yet ARDMS drains us with fees, endless requirements, and zero transparency. Sonographers are overworked, underpaid, and getting injured—stop profiting off our backs and start supporting us.
I have been job searching for over a year only to be denied, ghosted, or even interviewed while no intention to hire was had. I am running out of money and will soon default on loans, won't be able to afford food, etc. I am tired, stressed, afraid, etc. I need meds, mental healthcare, and so much more and cannot afford any of it due to ghost jobs. I have 12 years of experience in the field I am looking for, and will not believe that I do not qualify for entry level positions. Change needs to happen.
