The student will be trained in anatomy & physiology with medical terminology incorporated, general college mathematics, lifespan development, communications, ultrasound physics, and imaging specialties such as OB/GYN, abdominal, breast, echo, and vascular sonography. As a Sonographer, the student will train to be able to provide patient services in a variety of medical settings using medical ultrasound under the supervision of a physician. The student will be trained to perform ultrasound studies as ordered by physicians for their patients. The student will be trained to perform appropriate procedures and record anatomical, pathological, and physiological data and other pertinent observations made during the procedures. After completing the didactic or campus portion of their program, the student will attend an externship for a total of 945 hours (three semesters). This will allow the student to apply the principles obtained during the sonography program. After the completion of the physics course, the student will be eligible to take the Sonography Principles & Instrumentation (SPI) examination through the American Registry for Diagnostic Medical Sonographers. When all requirements are met and the student has officially graduated from the program, they will qualify to take the RDMS, RDCS, or RVT registries. Students should complete the program in 7 semesters for day class schedules, or 10 semesters for the night class schedules.
