We are proud to share the news that our professor of 28 years, Charlotte Henningsen, MS, is being recognized again for her outstanding accomplishments in sonography. The American Institute of Ultrasound Medicine (AIUM) has invited her to serve as CME Editor for their Journal of Ultrasound Medicine (JUM). In her invitation, the CEO of AIUM, Glynis V. Harvey, noted Professor Henningsen's "dedication to the AIUM" and "expertise in medical education" as contributing factors in her selection.
Henningsen already has an impressive track record including being chosen as the AIUMs 2017 Distinguished Sonographer, having previously served as the President of the Board for the Society of Diagnostic Medical Sonography (SDMS), and participating in task forces for the American Registry for Diagnostic Medical Sonography, in addition to Board and Committee service to the AIUM.
As CME Editor, Henningsen will help ensure that the tests written for the JUM are medically factual, accurately reflect the article content, and illustrate effective item-writing practices. "I am so pleased to be able to now serve the AIUM as CME editor for the journal, as item-writing and editing is something I love," said Henningsen.
AIUM also selected her as one of the 2019 Presidential Recognition Award recipients for her contributions to the growth and development of medical ultrasound. They have recognized her as an extremely active member within the organization and very deserving of this award which has been given annually since 1977. She expressed her gratitude, saying, "I have truly enjoyed the volunteer opportunities I have engaged in at the AIUM, especially serving as 2nd Vice President. It is such an honor to receive the Presidential Recognition Award."
At AHU, Henningsen serves as the Director for the Center for Advanced Ultrasound Education (CAUE) and for Faculty Development in Teaching & Learning. We could not be more pleased to have such an accomplished woman as one of our educators, and look forward to her continuing contributions to the incredible field of Diagnostic Medical Sonography.
