DMS3

Program DescriptionThe diagnostic medical sonography associate degree program is a sequence of courses that provides educational opportunities to individuals in didactic and clinical environments that will enable them to gain skills, knowledge and attitudes necessary to graduate and become successful entry-level employees in the field of Diagnostic Medical Sonography. The profession requires criticalthinking skills, judgment, and the ability to provide appropriate health care services. Sonographers use high frequency sound waves to produce dynamic visual pictures of internal body structures. The images are evaluated by physicians to make a medical diagnosis. Course work includes sonographic physics, sonographic identification of normal and abnormal anatomy, physiology, pathology, andpathophysiology of the abdomen, pelvis, and small parts of the adult, pediatric, and fetal patient, clinical application courses, interventional sonography, journal and case study review, and comprehensive registry reviews. In order to begin the clinical requirements, students must complete tuberculosis skin test, supply proof of immunization, undergo a background check, and submit to a drug screen test. . Program graduates receive an Associate of Applied Science Degree with a major inDiagnosticMedicalSonographyandhavethequalificationsofasonographer.(ProgramLength:5 Semesters Minimum plus required core prerequisites)
