ARDMS, APCA and Inteleos: Now all in one site
June 25, 2026
FAQs
What is this website update about?
On June 29, we are launching a new website that brings Inteleos, ARDMS, and APCA together in one digital home. This change creates a clearer, more connected path to information, support, and key resources.
The new site supports a stronger shared experience for certificants, students, educators, partners, sister societies, and internal teams. It also makes it simpler to move between related content without navigating separate websites.
Who is Inteleos?
Inteleos, established in 2016, is a nonprofit certification organization that provides governance, infrastructure, and shared services for healthcare certification programs, including the American Registry for Diagnostic Medical Sonography® (ARDMS®), the Alliance for Physician Certification & Advancement™ (APCA™), and the Point-of-Care Ultrasound (POCUS) Certification Academy™.
Through these programs, Inteleos supports professional certification in sonography, physician imaging, and point-of-care ultrasound, while the Inteleos Foundation leads the organization’s philanthropic and global health efforts.
Is this still ARDMS or APCA?
Yes.
ARDMS and APCA remain the same trusted certification programs, now presented within a single Inteleos website. This update does not change the ARDMS or APCA brands, certifications, portals, or support teams you already know; it simply brings Inteleos, ARDMS, and APCA together in one connected digital experience. Inteleos has governed and supported ARDMS and APCA since 2016; this update makes that relationship clearer online.
Why is the site changing?
We made this change to improve clarity, navigation, and access across the Inteleos family.
The updated site helps people:
- Find information more efficiently
- Reach support with fewer clicks
- Move more easily between related content
- Understand how Inteleos, ARDMS, and APCA are connected
Why is it happening now?
This is the right time to create a stronger long-term foundation for the website experience.
As websites grow, content expands, audiences need easier ways to find the right information without duplication or confusion, and certificants often look for additional learning and next steps as their careers evolve. A connected digital home helps us communicate more clearly, better support those exploring learning and certification pathways, and adapt as professional learning and validation needs change over time.

What this means for different audiences
How does this change affect certificants?
Certificants should see a clearer path to certification and exam information, renewal details, portals, and support. Some saved links may need updates after launch.
How does this change affect educators?
Educators may need to review training materials that include:
- Saved links
- Screenshots
- Step-by-step directions
- Training materials
- Shared partner resources that point to older pages
How does this change affect partners and sister societies?
Partners and sister societies may need to review shared links, resource pages, newsletters, and reference materials that point to older pages.
The updated site gives these groups a more unified place to direct their audiences and a clearer view of the Inteleos family online.
What to do if you cannot find a page, tool, or resource
If you cannot find something after launch:
- Start from the homepage.
- Use the main navigation.
- Use the enhanced search.
- Visit the Resource Hub.
- Check the page title to confirm you found the right destination.
- Save the new link.
- Contact Customer Care if you cannot find a page after using the homepage, navigation, and enhanced search.
Does a broken bookmark mean the page no longer exists?
Many links from ardms.org and apca.org will be redirected to corresponding pages on our new website. If you bookmarked a page on ardms.org or apca.org and that bookmark does not redirect you to a corresponding page on the new inteleos.org site, the content has either been re-categorized into a new section of the site or no longer exists.
