The Research team of Evans, Sommerich, Fukumura, Roll  are pleased to provide insights into the long standing challenge of the risk for musculoskeletal injuries which can lead to long term disorders.  The SEIPS model has been adapted to better capture the sonography “road map” and the multi-factorial influences that impact ultrasound users in their workplace.  We are indeed grateful for the ongoing support and input from the organizations that make up the Alliance and their commitment to the Grand Challenge.   The intent of this website is to allow constituents and participants to interact with the researchers, the overall study, and some important resources.  The research team has made a career out of seeking solutions to the mitigation of work-related musculoskeletal disorders (WRMSD).
