About SonoTalk Communities
SonoTalk uses the term “community” to refer to a group that has assembled online to discuss, work on. and explore topics of common interest. Think of it this way: while an average user might casually “spend time” on their personal social network, members of SonoTalk can use that time with a purposeful mindset, seizing the opportunity to engage with the sonographer community for personal and professional growth.
All members can join the Discussion Forum and other member created communities and set your communication preferences. You can also decide which communities to join or create a public community based on your interests. You may also notice private communities for the association’s operating committees, working groups and Board of Directors. These are only accessible to committee members by invitation.
Each community includes the following sections:
- Discussion: This is the “chat room” where members can post messages with inquiries or comments to engage colleagues in an online discussion related to a particular issue or topic.
- Library: This is where members can access, store and share documents or resources of interest to sonographers.
- Events: This is where Sonography Canada promotes important upcoming events (e.g. webinars, conferences, events, etc.).
- Members: This is where the list of existing members of the community of practice can be found and where you can send direct email messages to them.
