FUNCTIONAL

When an institution purchases the SDMS EdPro Library, they will receive an email with a link to a questionnaire to submit their roster of users.

  • A “User” is anyone who needs access to the library including students, faculty, and/or program directors.

The questionnaire includes a requested Start Date for your six- or twelve-month subscription. This allows institutions time, if needed, for procuring a check or credit card from your Purchasing Department.

Once enrolled, your designated users will receive a ‘welcome’ email with instructions for accessing the SDMS EdPro Library.

All users need a login account at SDMS.org (SDMS membership not required). You can determine if you have an account or create a new account at SDMS login

  • If you have general questions on using the SDMS Learning Center, visit the Help Center.

NOTE: User access will not be granted until payment is received. SDMS will accept a valid Purchase Order as sufficient to activate access while payment is being processed.

PRICING & RENEWAL

Subscriptions can cover institutions, programs, or campuses at the purchaser’s discretion. If additional users beyond the 20 provided are needed, they can be added for a small fee.

SDMS strongly encourages educational facilities to include everyone on their initial enrollment roster. Prices are not pro-rated for late additions.

Users cannot be removed mid-term.

The subscription does not automatically renew. SDMS staff will email you a reminder when you are approaching your subscription end date and will be happy to work with you to facilitate renewal.

Your subscription will end after six or twelve months, and all users will lose access to the SDMS EdPro Library. As a courtesy, SDMS may send an email to users who recently lost access, alerting them that they will be unable to login until the subscription is renewed.

There are no refunds or pricing adjustments allowed.

Students are not required to be SDMS members. SDMS will honor member discounts on subscriptions if the educational facility is an SDMS Organizational member or if any of their faculty or program directors are individual SDMS members.

No, smaller packages are not offered. The Base Price is based on the educational content and associated knowledge check quizzes in the SDMS EdPro Library.

Contact us at 1-800-229-9506 to inquire or tell us how you want to utilize the SDMS EdPro Library here.

EDPRO LIBRARY CONTENT

All specialties are included as well as other relevant topics. View a list of available titles.

New content will be added continuously as it becomes available. Content will be reviewed regularly in accordance with SDMS CME Policies, and either updated or removed per the guidance of subject matter experts.

Length, topic, and style vary but most are about 50-minute lectures.

Knowledge check quizzes contain 10 questions each and students can view their scores as well as receive a certificate of completion (indicating a passing score of 75% or higher). Users can also view their actual score (out of 100) in the SDMS Learning Center under “Submissions”.

Knowledge check quizzes are intentionally written with students in mind. They are related to definitions, facts, and procedures. They do not require the level of critical thinking that would be better suited for experienced clinicians.

Where can I find my certificate of completion if I achieved 75% or better on a knowledge check quiz?
Login at learn.sdms.org / Click “Go to your Learning Center” / Look under the “Completed” tab.

Where can I see my actual score out of 100?

No, these activities are intended to supplement classroom teaching and assignments and only contain knowledge check quizzes.

The SDMS EdPro Library isn’t just another version of the SDMS Learning Center. It’s designed specifically to support sonography programs and offers exclusive educational content not found in the SDMS Learning Center. Plus, the included student knowledge check quizzes give educators a built-in way to measure understanding and reinforce key concepts.
