The Associate of Applied Science degree in Diagnostic Ultrasound Technology provides training in ultrasound patient services and related diagnostic techniques. The program offers training in the following curricular tracks: General (Abdomen-Extended & OB/GYN); Vascular Technology; and Adult Cardiac. Multi-track combines OB/GYN, Abdominal, and Vascular sonography. Students must apply for General (Ab-Ex and OB/GYN), Vascular or Adult Cardiac at the time of their application to the program. Students admitted to the program in either the general or vascular tracks may apply to the multi-track during the winter quarter. The program uses a selective admissions process, with admissions guidelines published annually. Graduates are eligible to apply to take the American Registry of Diagnostic Medical Sonography and the American Registry of Radiologic Technology examinations. The adult cardiac track of the program is accredited by the Commission on Accreditation of Allied Health Education Programs.
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.
