Description:
Diagnostic
Medical Sonography is a highly-skilled profession which uses specialized
equipment to create images of structures inside the human body
used by physicians to make medical diagnoses. Sonographers
have extensive, direct patient contact that may include performing
some invasive procedures. They must be able to interact
compassionately and effectively with people who range from healthy
to critically ill.
Sectional
anatomy, ultrasonic instrumentation and imaging are the major
components in this program. Skills are developed through
clinical experiences using diagnostic imagery equipment.
Progression in the Diagnostic Medical Sonography Program is contingent
upon achievement of a grade of "C" or better in each
course and maintenance of a 2.0 cumulative grade point average
or better (on a 4.0 scale).
