How Do We Leverage Scientific Writing to Advance Our Profession?

摘要

It is a great honor to have been selected as the new editor-in-chief of the Journal of Diagnostic Medical Sonography (JDMS). I have been a strong supporter of this journal-not just as a writer but also as a student of the discipline. When I began my clinical career, I was always searching for quality sources to learn more about the various applications of sonography. In our clinical lab, the staff often shared articles that they read in Medical Ultrasound, the precursor to the JDMS. Reading and discussing published articles was a way to study current clinical applications as well as an outlet for sonographers to publish their work. The JDMS not only influenced my career but has affected many sonographers by supporting the profession in this way.
