Concorde's Cardiovascular Sonography program trains students to use ultrasound technology to help diagnose and treat heart-related conditions. Students develop hands-on skills in capturing ultrasound images of the heart and vascular system — including echocardiograms — while learning how to assess image quality, document findings, and generate reports for physicians and the broader care team.

Sonography has been a cornerstone of modern medicine since the 1940s, and its applications have expanded significantly over the decades. Today, skilled sonographers contribute to evaluating heart function, monitoring pregnancies, detecting tumors, and imaging major organs and arteries.

Concorde's Aurora campus offers an Associate of Applied Science in Cardiovascular Sonography, designed to build both the medical knowledge foundation and the practical skills needed to pursue a career in this growing field. The program can be completed in as few as 20 months, offering an efficient route into a profession that plays a meaningful role in patient care.

Whether you're entering healthcare for the first time or looking to specialize, this program positions you for career opportunities across hospitals, cardiology clinics, and diagnostic imaging centers — where your skills can directly impact how heart conditions are identified and treated.
