The education program is a very important part of the WFUMB work. The WFUMB Centers of Education (COE´s) shall provide qualification in medical ultrasound in underserved regions and in countries where are deficits in US education program. They should grant recognition for to participants after completion of courses, accumulate ultrasound related reference materials and serve as reference centers for the region, they are situated ( www.wfumb.org ). Today 14 COE all over the world are accredited. There are 3 types of COEs; Type 1 with basic education in one speciality; Type 2 provides basic and advanced education in one specialty and Type 3 is a multidisciplinary centre with advanced education in two or more specialities. We have now 5 COEs in Africa (Togo, Sudan, Ethiopia, Tanzania, Kenia), 2 in South America (Venezuela, Paraguay), 4 in Asia (Bangladesh, Mongolia, Indonesia, Vietnam) and 3 in Europe (Rumania, Moldova, Albania). There are 4 Terms of COEs: 1. COE Candidate: The COE Task Force Group is looking for COE new candidates. This period should not be longer than 2 years during which time the agreement will be prepared. 2. COE: After evaluation the COE will get higher support from WFUMB for 3 years 3. Established COE: WFUMB support is available for a further 2 years 4. Independent COE: After this time the COE should work independent without financial support from WFUMB but under supervision/umbrella of WFUMB. COEs should offer: 1. Ultrasound courses (basic, advanced and for special fields and techniques) at regular intervals. 2. Training facilities for long term education in practical ultrasound. 3. Library and teaching material. 4. E-learning education and 5. Students education. WFUMB founded a COE Task Force Group to improve the number of COEs in the next few years.
