About your past
What types of ultrasound exams are you most comfortable with, and which ones would you need more practice on?
What they are checking: Whether they know their strengths and gaps honestly, since sites like Shawano may need a sonographer who covers many exam types.
Tell me about a time you had to do a portable scan in the ICU or emergency department. What was different?
What they are checking: Whether they can adapt to tough conditions and work around equipment and critically ill patients.
How do you stay current on your registry and continuing education?
What they are checking: Whether they take credentialing seriously and keep learning as protocols and equipment change.
What would you do
You see something during a scan that looks urgent. What do you do, and what do you say to the patient?
What they are checking: Whether they know to escalate to the radiologist quickly without giving the patient a diagnosis themselves.
A patient asks you during an OB scan whether everything looks okay. How do you answer?
What they are checking: Whether they can stay warm and reassuring while staying within their scope, which is a hard balance in OB.
You're behind on the schedule and an add-on from the ED comes in. How do you handle it?

About the work
Walk me through how you would scan a right upper quadrant for a patient with suspected gallbladder disease.
What they are checking: Whether they follow a complete protocol and know what images the radiologist needs to make a call.
How do you get good images on a patient with a high body weight or a lot of bowel gas?
What they are checking: Whether they have practical techniques for hard scans instead of settling for poor images.
How do you protect your own body from injury when you scan all day?
What they are checking: Whether they use good ergonomics, since sonographer injuries are common and end careers early.
How do you make sure the right exam is done on the right patient and the right side?
What they are checking: Whether they use consistent identification and order checks, which prevent costly and unsafe mistakes.
