If You're Renewing Your Subscription

If you've already accessed your modules in the past, simply continue to log in at emsono.rise.com.

If You're a Fist-Time EMsono Customer

Step 1. You should have received an email invitation from us. The subject line is, "It's time to start training at EMsono." (Be sure to check your spam box.) Can't find the email? Just email [email protected] and we'll resend it!

Step 2. Open the email and click the blue "Accept Invitation" button. This will prompt you to create your password for Rise, our online training platform where you'll access your modules.

Step 3. Access your modules on Rise at emsono.rise.com. You'll see the modules for the course you purchased under "My Learning" and "Browse Library."

Forgot your password? No problem! Reset it at emsono.rise.com/reset-password.

 Step 1. To cancel your 1-year subscription, go to your Stripe Customer Portal. Login by entering your email address; Stripe will email you a direct  login link. No need to create or remember a password!

Step 2. Click the "Cancel" button on the top right-hand side. You will continue to have access to your course through your expiration date; after that date, your subscription will stop auto-renewing and you will not be charged for another year.

*Please note: Only customers with 1-year subscriptions have the ability to cancel. This is because only our 1-year subscriptions auto-renew. The 6-month subscriptions do not auto-renew and will automatically be canceled at the end of your 6 months.

6-Month Subscriptions

If you have a 6-month subscription, you will need to manually renew because these subscriptions do not auto-renew. Once your 6-month subscription ends, manually purchase a new course on our website here.

1-Year Subscriptions

All our 1-year subscriptions auto-renew. Please do not manually purchase a new 1-year subscription after the year is up; this will result in you having duplicate subscriptions and two payments.

As your 1-year subscription nears its auto-renewal date, you'll receive an automated email from Stripe. You may cancel your subscription at any time.

Step 1. Go to your Stripe Customer Portal. Login by entering your email address; Stripe will email you a direct login link. No need to create or remember a password!

Step 2. Once you've logged into your portal, you can view your:

• Current EMsono subscription
• Payment method
• Billing and contact info
• Invoice history

Feel free to update this info at any time!

If you are an attending physician, fellow, or APP who has purchased a POCUS subscription that includes CME, you'll earn you CME through the module titled, "Claim your Core Modules CME" or "Claim your Advanced Modules CME." You can find these modules under "My Learning" in your Rise account.

These modules contain instructions on how to claim your CME via a platform called CMEfy. In CMEfy, you'll need to answer reflection questions, including What did you learn? and What will you do? Every case offers the opportunity to earn up to 1.0 CE/CME credit.

After you answer the reflection questions, you'll be able to create your profile in the accredited CMEfy activity portal. From there, you can view your answers and download your CME.

For detailed instructions on how to complete and download your CME, access the CME module in your Rise profile or read the instructions on CMEfy's website.

If, for any reason, you need to be removed from the group, please contact your program coordinator/leader.

That's easy! You don't have to do a thing. Since you're a part of a group, your program coordinator will take care of getting everyone's yearly subscription renewed.

Our POCUS training platform, called Rise, allows group Reporters to run various reports, track data, and analyze learner progress. Here are the reports you can run:

• Activity Report: This shows you all your account's activity, sortable by learner name, course name, quiz scores, and activity date.
• Learner and Group Reports: These show you all the users who have activated their Rise profile, (including users who have been removed), the modules they've taken, and their last active time in the platform.
• Course Report: This displays a list of all current and completed courses for your group's account. You can sort them by name, number of learners enrolled, or average quiz score. 
• Learning Path Report: This shows you all the learning paths in your group account. It'll tell you how many courses are in each learning path and how many members are enrolled.

Running these reports will allow you to check individual learners' quiz scores, including which questions they got wrong!

*We encourage you to regularly run the Learner Report to ensure all your group members have activated their profile; if they haven't, then you can send them a reminder email.

Have additional questions? Check out this detailed article about each of the Rise reports.

We appreciate that you're planning ahead to renew with us! Every year, we'll get in touch with you to confirm the number of new and renewing learners in your group.

About 1-2 months before your group's renewal date, our assistant, Jenna Ziegler, will email the group's Reporter(s) to begin the process.

We'll send you a spreadsheet to complete; it'll ask for the number of learners, their provider types, and their names and emails. Once you fill out this spreadsheet, we'll be able to email over your group's invoice.

Detailed instructions are provided when Jenna emails you each year. If you have questions or wish to begin the renewal process early, just email us at [email protected]!
