Sonographer education, clinical training and the clinical supervision of student sonographers has altered and advanced dramatically over time. Guiding a student sonographer to become a proficient, caring clinician who advocates for best practice and patient outcomes is not a simple task. This paper is presented from a past tutors' perspective and introduces the basics of a training program, which was developed and implemented, by the author, over an extensive period of time.
