 Objectives: The Diagnostic Medical Ultrasound Technician Program is designed to help students work effectively in a health-care environment. They will learn to perform ultrasound examinations coupled with a basic understanding of patient care in relation to performing their duties as entry-level sonographers.
Preparation includes extensive theoretical and laboratory background in areas of human anatomy and physiology, basic principles of diagnostic medical ultrasound, patient care and preparation, legal and ethical aspects of ultrasonographic practice, departmental protocols, and diagnostic protocols.
This will be capped by working in a real-life environment in a hospital's imaging department or in different imaging laboratories during the clinical externship period.
Emphasis will be placed on information and techniques necessary for ARDMS (American Registry of Diagnostic and Medical Sonography).
There will be a clinical externship where the student spends 600 hours in a clinical ultrasound department or hospital ultrasound department, applying knowledge gained in the didactic section of the program. At the conclusion of the clinical externship, students will receive a diploma in Diagnostic Medical Ultrasound Technician.
Graduates will be ready to enter the health-care field as professionals, responsible for gathering information to aid with patient diagnosis.
The students graduating from this program will be prepared to work in a variety of imaging laboratories, hospitals and clinics as entry-level sonographers.
