Degree Total 91 Hours Programs of Study Associate of Applied Science in Diagnostic Medical Sonography Diagnostic Medical Sonographers, or ultrasound technologists, operate equipment that utilizes high frequency sound waves to produce images of internal organs. The images obtained by sonographers are used in the diagnosis and monitoring of various medical conditions and disease processes. Sonographers may specialize in multiple modalities including, but not limited to, cardiac, vascular, abdomen, and obstetrics and gynecology. Because of the high levels of decisional latitude and diagnostic input, sonographers have a high degree of responsibility in the diagnostic process. About the Program Through classroom theory, laboratory practice and clinical application students learn to safely use ultrasound in the diagnosis of trauma and disease. Students are introduced to the vast opportunities in diagnostic medical sonography and achieve entry-level competency in the performance and evaluation of ultrasound examinations and procedures. This is an intense 22-month course of study. Admission Process Students in the program are admitted to the College on the same basis as other students, but admission to the College does not ensure admission into the program.
