Note

*Participation in the TSUP program does not automatically involve the students in any of the ultrasound programs offered by OSUCOM and that if the students are strictly a TSUP model, they only have to model. 

* TSUP models are not required to fulfill a required minimum of modeling hours. However, the Beginner or Intermediate Ultrasound program have certain Ultrasound experience hour requirements, to which TSUP modeling can contribute. Confirm with your program coordinator what those requirements are today!  

*It should be emphasized that joining the TSUP program and modeling is completely voluntary and students are by no means pressured to expose any body part that they do not wish to expose. We also refrain from scanning the TSUP models' breasts (for females) and genitalia (in both genders).
