About this title

About the Author

For over ten years, Rebecca Sams Willis enjoyed her role as a stay-at-home mom, but after her three children were all in school, she decided to embark on a new career. Her husband noticed an advertisement in the local paper for an ultrasound school. Because of a high-risk pregnancy of her own, Rebecca thought the field sounded interesting so she decided to enroll. 

During her clinicals, she had the opportunity to experience work environments at hospitals, imaging centers, infertility clinics and a perinatology office. After two years, she graduated first in her class and was asked to join the school's Advisory Board, which she accepted. She was also offered a full-time position at the perinatologist's office and was truly thrilled at the opportunity, knowing that obstetrics and gynecology ultrasound was her calling. Being immersed in a high-risk pregnancy setting full-time, she was able to quickly learn the normal fetal anatomy, anomalies, and was trained in fetal echocardiography.

In 2011, Rebecca was offered an opportunity to work for a general obstetrics and gynecology practice, the same doctors who delivered her children. Here, she began working on her ultrasound book, "Quick Reference Guide for Ob & Gyn Sonography." She felt the market lacked a good quick reference book for new sonographers and hopes this book will fill the need.

Rebecca continues to work for this practice and enjoys attending workshops and seminars to further her education. She also attends a monthly fetal boards meeting at the local women and children's hospital, which gives her greater insight as to how the physician utilizes the ultrasound data to treat their patient. To her, it is yet another piece of the patient care puzzle.

Rebecca welcomes your insight on the field of ultrasound and would love the opportunity to connect with you.
