How it works

How Membership Works

What members actually do after joining: register for webmeetings, use the archive between events, and keep CEU documentation current.

  1. 1

    Join

    Choose the tier that matches your role. Students email verification; paid tiers complete checkout and membership is active immediately.

  2. 2

    Attend & learn

    Register for sSCAPE webmeetings and the annual meeting; stream the case archive between events. New recordings drop after every conference.

  3. 3

    Track your CEUs

    Echocardiographers earn SDMS CEUs on qualifying webinars; certificates and credit history stay in your account for renewal and employer documentation.

Why so affordable?

Member-Led & Volunteer-Driven

Case conferences, curriculum, and governance come from working sonographers and cardiologists who volunteer their time. Dues fund education and infrastructure — nothing else.
ASE memberships start at $235; SOPE is higher; most regional societies sit at $50–100. We picked accessibility on purpose.

Questions

What members ask first

  • What's included in each tier?
    Student is free and covers full archive + event access through the academic year. Echocardiographer ($15) adds SDMS CEUs on qualifying webinars and credit tracking. Physician ($25) covers regional case conferences, the archive for clinic and fellows, and governance/voting rights.
  • Can I cancel anytime?
    Yes. Cancel from your account billing portal at any time — no penalty, no hassle. We'll send a renewal reminder 30 days before the annual charge so nothing renews by surprise.
  • How does the student tier renewal work?
    Student membership is free and valid through June 30 of the academic year you join. Renew each July when you enter the next year of training — no charge, one click. (Joining in May or June? You can wait six weeks and get a full year.)
  • How do CME / CEU credits work?
    Echocardiographer members earn SDMS CEUs on qualifying live webinars and recorded talks; credits track to your account and certificates download from /account/cme. Physicians: sSCAPE doesn't offer AMA PRA credits, so physician membership focuses on case exchange, archive access, and fellow education.
  • Is membership tax-deductible?
    sSCAPE is a 501(c)(6) member organization, not a 501(c)(3). Dues are generally deductible as a business expense (not a charitable contribution). Talk to your accountant for the specifics that apply to your situation.
  • How is my data handled?
    We collect what membership requires — name, email, role, institution — and nothing else. No newsletter sells, no tracking pixels feeding ad networks. Full details in /privacy.
