MILL CREEK, Wash., Oct. 27 /PRNewswire/ -- The International Foundation for Sonography Education and Research (IFSER) is proud to announce the forthcoming release of the mSCAN (mobile Sonography Clinical Assessment Notebook).

International Foundation for Sonography Education and Research (IFSER)

Established in 1989, a core group of sonography educators and professionals formed the first foundation specifically focused on the educational needs of the sonography community.  IFSER was created to support sonography education on a global basis. Having given over $500,000 in scholarship assistance and more than $100,000 in grants, IFSER's focus is to expand its focus internationally.  With the emergence of smaller, less expensive sonography devices and the continuing expanse of the Internet, it is possible to reach the growing international sonography community of traditional and non-traditional users with equipment, online training, and instant access to the latest educational material.
