Sonography Priniciples and Instrumentation (SPI) Examination Requirement

The Sonography Principles & Instrumentation (SPI) Examination Requirement was developed as a pathway for those who cannot meet the stipulations of the ARDMS clinical examination prerequisites. Specifically, the SPI Examination Requirement allows students to apply for the SPI examination prior to graduation. The SPI Examination Requirement cannot be used when applying for a specialty examination (e.g. AB, OB, AE, VT). Please see the “Notes About the SPI Examination Requirement” section below for additional information.

Please Note: If you were approved to sit for the SPI examination under the SPI Examination Requirement, you are considered a first-time applicant and will need to apply under an ARDMS listed prerequisite in order to sit for for an ARDMS specialty examination(s).
