Basically need an MD or DO with either 12 credit hours specific to each credential area and successful completion of a residency or fellowship program with appropriate training.
Or MD or DO with 12 months of full-time ultrasound experience as well as 12 credit hours in each credentialed area

So, what counts as a "residency or fellowship program with appropriate training"? I couldn't find any answers on the site. Thanks!
I think our ultrasound director said you needed 500 scans before he would allow you to sit for the RDMS exam (your ultrasound director must write a letter verifying your training).
It's very doable considering I've already done 150 scans during the 3 weeks of my part-time (1-5) ultrasound rotation. Not to mention the other 150-250 done during my shifts.

Yup. 800 scans. And you don't have to have completed residency. (I am going to sit for it as soon as I find the damn time....) It requires a lecture course and sitting for the exam adn a letter from your director stating that you have the appropriate number of scans. I have been eligable for a few months (about to start pgy-3) I'm just having a hard time finding the time for the course.
And the bucks for the test.
Good luck.

From the RDMS website
"Original letter from residency/fellowship program director verifying dates of attendance and completion of a minimum of 800 studies in the area in which you are applying."
Sounds like you'll have to start over.

Its benefit is debatable. Doing a search on SDN gives the following results:
