[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You can move the 20 week scan forward a week or two OP.

Are there any holidays off during your training? I was sometimes able to schedule medical appointments on holidays because I was off work but the medical offices were open (barring Christmas and Thanksgiving).[/quote]

I would need to move it to 17 weeks 4 days. The MFM office isn't open on Fridays. Training is supposed to be 6 weeks but it could be shorter. If I move it to after training that puts me at 26 weeks unless I do it the very last week of training. I am hoping training gets shortened. I do think the first week we will learn a lot more. In this line of work, turnover is very high. Another person above pointed out that sometimes companies hire more candidates than they need for this reason and not all of them stay through the training. In some positions, they would need to find a temp but in this field, it's not common because there are so many of us with this job title. It's a little niche because it's working with pharm but it's similar to claims at a health insurance company. I won't be doing customer service but I will be reaching out to a lot of health insurance companies to verify pharm coverage. Labor day is one day we will have off but I don't think MFM office will be open. [/quote]

First off, there are a ton of private scanning companies you can go to. All you need is an ultrasound tech, they’re all trained in how to perform an anatomy scan (yes I have firsthand knowledge of this). Then you just send the results to your OB or MFM.

Second, unless you’re very overweight anatomy scans can definitely be done at 17 weeks. What they’re looking for is not going to magically appear in 3 weeks. They just need a good view, if they can get it which they should be able to on a normal BMI woman at 17 weeks - great. [/quote]
