Diagnostic Medical Sonography is a one-year certificate program offered through the Medical Imaging Department. The goal of the program is to prepare competent entry level general sonographers in the cognitive (knowledge), psychomotor (skills), and affective (behavioral) learning domains. Sonography has recently developed into a specialized and technical part of diagnostic medical imaging. The demands on a sonographer require a working knowledge of cross sectional anatomy, pathology and its echogenic appearance, as well as scanning techniques to obtain the optimum image.
