The American Registry for Diagnostic Medical Sonography (ARDMS) will offer the Sonography Principles and Instrumentation (SPI) exam via remote proctoring for the first time.
Though the test can still be taken at a center, the new remote option was added due to the pandemic. The remote version is proctored via a webcam to ensure accuracy, security, and compliance, the organization said. Additionally, ARDMS is considering offering other sonographer certification exams remotely during 2021.
