ACE Awards 100th ECNU Credential

(From the First Messenger magazine of the AACE, September 2010 issue)

...To date, there are 105 ECNU-certified endocrinologists and this number is continually growing.  Reaching this milestone of more than 100 certificants is a testament of the endocrinologists’ commitment to achieve a new level of professional growth and recognition in the field of ultrasomography.  As Chair of the ACE Neck Ultrasound Certification Council, I am extremely proud of this accomplishment and I look forward to furthering the mission of the ECNU Program.
