Our Impact: Defining Excellence in Medicine Through Certification

Inteleos is an internationally recognized medical certification organization. Each day more than 1.8 million patients across the world are cared for by our network of Inteleos certified medical professionals whose goal is to make an impact. Inteleos certifications cover a wide variety of disciplines across 21 medical certifications including diagnostic medical sonography, cardiac MRI, CT, nuclear medicine, vascular medicine, and point-of-care ultrasound.

The Inteleos Story

By 2032, Inteleos will be the indispensable global orchestrator of healthcare professional learning, validation, and data—moving beyond episodic certification to continuous, AI-enabled stewardship of competency and career pathways that drive clinical excellence and business sustainability across a flourishing health ecosystem.

Inteleos should be defined not by what it certifies, but by the ecosystem it orchestrates, the careers it transforms, and the trust it enables in global healthcare.

Our Values

Inteleos creates the global standards of excellence in healthcare.

Inteleos Fuels the Global Health Community to Ensure Equitable Access to Quality Care.

The diversity of the Inteleos community of certified medical professionals is what makes this organization unique. Our Certificants consist of sonographers; physicians who specialize in and/or practice ultrasound, cardiovascular MR, CT, and nuclear medicine, and vascular and endovascular medicine; and point-of-care ultrasound users in family medicine, emergency medicine, radiology, internal medicine, physician assistants, nurse practitioners, physical therapists, and midwives. Join us in creating a world where everyone has access to high quality healthcare delivered by providers who have demonstrated their proficiency. Together, we can save lives, establish trust, and expand equity in healthcare.
