Certificate in Allied Health Performed Ultrasound (CAHPU)
The Certificate in Allied Health Performed Ultrasound (CAHPU) is a credential that is awarded by the ASUM Council to allied health practitioners who are not imaging specialists but who may use ultrasound as a imaging tool at the point of care.
The CAHPU is available to allied health practitioners (such as midwives, nurses, physiotherapists and paramedics) in Australia and New Zealand who are practising and registered with their national medical registration authority, for example, Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Agency (AHPRA), the Nursing Council of New Zealand, the Midwifery Council of New Zealand and The Physiotherapy Board of New Zealand.
