Diagnostic Medical Sonography

Do you want a career in healthcare where you play a vital role in helping doctors diagnose and monitor a range of health conditions — from heart disease to pregnancy to cancer? A sonographer, or ultrasound tech, provides care essential to diagnostic ultrasound imaging by operating equipment and performing examinations for medical diagnosis. Upon completion of the Diagnostic Medical Sonography program, you will be qualified to work as a diagnostic sonographer or cardiovascular technologist or technician in various healthcare settings such as hospitals, clinics, doctors’ offices, and mobile imaging centers. Alternatively, this program will prepare you to work in research, applications, teaching, and marketing roles in business or other industries.

Our program’s experienced instructors will teach you the essentials in sonography — you’ll learn how to collect and interpret diagnostic information from ultrasound exams, how to obtain, review, and record pertinent patient history and supporting clinical data to facilitate optimal diagnostic results, and how to exercise professional and ethical behavior in a healthcare setting. Our program will help you develop lifelong skills in the practice of sonography and healthcare, and so much more!

If you want to begin a new journey as a sonographer in the healthcare sector or would like to become certified by the American Registry of Diagnostic Medical Sonographers (ARDMS), enroll in the Diagnostic Medical Sonography program and make it happen today.
