You are volunteering to participate as a model for learners to perform point of care ultrasound on your body. Ultrasound is a medical procedure that uses high frequency sound waves to produce images of the human body. This consent form provides you information about the procedure to help you decide whether you would like to participate. Please read this form, and ask any questions you have before agreeing to be a volunteer model. The purpose of the ultrasound procedure to be performed on you is to better educate learners in the use of ultrasound. The purpose of this ultrasound procedure is not to provide medical care or diagnose medical conditions. There are no risks/ side effects of participating as a volunteer model. Your participation benefits the medical society in helping learners acquire and practice ultrasound skills. In the event that the scanning individual(s) believe they have found an abnormality, they will advise you to speak with your primary care clinician. The purpose of this ultrasound event is for educational purposes and non-diagnostic. Therefore, scans today are not to provide medical care nor to look for any abnormalities, so it is possible that abnormalities/medical conditions may not be detected. The faculty, students, or any other entities of today's event, including SPOCUS, are not responsible for any outcomes involved with the ultrasound procedure. If you suspect that you have a medical disease or condition that needs diagnosis, we encourage you to follow up with your primary care clinician or local student health office. Since this is an educational activity and not a healthcare procedure, HIPPA laws are not applicable. Efforts will be made to keep your personal information confidential. We cannot guarantee absolute confidentiality. Your personal information may be disclosed if required by law. While we are not planning on saving sonographic images from today's event, in the event that they are, every attempt at anonymity will be made, although demographic content may be recorded as well. VOLUNTEER CONSENT I agree to participate as a volunteer to be scanned by students and other learners in an educational setting during iScan, where students are acquiring skills in conducting ultrasound. I recognize that by participating in this activity, no medical care is being provided and the interpretations of ultrasound imaging in either finding abnormal conditions, or not finding abnormal conditions, should not be considered factual and/or a medical diagnosis in any way. I understand that the ultrasound procedure performed on me is purely for educational purposes to teach learners the skills of conducting point of care ultrasound. The purpose of the ultrasound procedure is not to locate or diagnose medical conditions. In consideration of all of the above, I agree to volunteer as a model for an ultrasound scan.
