About the Program
Make a difference as a Diagnostic Medical Sonographer and join one of the fastest-growing fields in health care! Sonography is a highly-skilled, operator-dependent imaging modality that uses advanced instrumentation to create images from inside the human body. Physicians heavily rely on sonographers to be the “eyes” inside the patient and aid in identifying medical diagnoses.
