About: 

The Community Ultrasound Program is committed to ensuring that abortion-seekers have access to timely, affordable and reliable ultrasounds in their community, if and when they need more information about their pregnancy. People need alternatives to anti-abortion centers, whether they are considering their options or have already decided to travel for care or seek telemedicine services.

We seek coaches to provide virtual ultrasound training, using our bespoke structured virtual training program. Coaches work with learners 1:1 or in small groups, using slide decks and videos designed to meet the needs of learners without formal medical training. After the virtual training, learners connect with in-person sites for hands-on training with their own probe.
