This program is designed to train entry level Diagnostic Medical Sonographers to assist physicians in the diagnosis and treatment of a wide variety of disorders affecting the human body. Students are taught by experienced Diagnostic Medical Sonographers and physicians. The program is five semesters in length including the summer semesters. The first three semesters consists of classroom, laboratory, and patients’ observation. The last two semesters consists of clinical rotation in which students observe and perform procedures under the supervision of experienced Diagnostic Medical Sonographers. Graduates work in hospitals, imaging centers, mobile labs, and physician’s offices.

 


This is a practical course is a continuation of Master Scan Lab 1. Participants scan live patients to develop the scan skills necessary for entry level positions as a Diagnostic Medical Sonographer. Students will practice and master full procedures in the lab to prepare them for clinical rotation.
