Associate's - Cardiovascular Sonography
Detecting heart disease and other heart conditions is a major area of the healthcare field, and it involves a team of healthcare professionals. Cardiovascular technicians are key players on any heart healthcare team. Sanford-Brown’s cardiovascular technology program is designed to prepare you for career opportunities as a Cardiovascular Sonographer/Technician where you can be an important part of that healthcare team.
Could you be a cardiovascular technician? Learn how to check the heart for subtle differences between healthy and diseased areas; judge if the images are satisfactory for diagnostic purposes; and send images to the doctor to view. You can also learn how to explain the procedure to patients, record additional medical history, select appropriate equipment settings and perform numerous other duties essential to this vital area of healthcare.
Associate's - Diagnostic Medical Sonography
Diagnostic Medical Sonography is a medical procedure that uses ultrasound to produce visual images of organs, tissues, or blood flow inside the body. A diagnostic medical sonographer is a highly-skilled professional who uses specialized equipment to create sonograms or ultrasound scans of structures inside the human body that are used by physicians to make a medical diagnosis.
Sonography can be used to examine many parts of the body, such as the abdomen, pelvis, female reproductive system, prostate, heart, and blood vessels. The student will have the opportunity to study anatomy, physiology and pathophysiology of scanned organ systems, recognize the sonographic patterns of the organs, learn protocols for a logical and thorough survey of the organs, and provide accurate and technical findings to the interpreting physician. Sanford-Brown’s diagnostic medical sonography courses will prepare you a career in this exciting and growing field
Associate's - Medical Billing and Coding
Did you know that in the healthcare field there is a numerical code assigned to every medical procedure, condition and disease? Medical Billing and Coding professionals assign those codes based on physician diagnoses, and attention to detail is essential. Medical Billing and Coding training at Sanford-Brown can prepare you to work in a number of healthcare settings, such as physicians’ offices, hospitals and care centers.
If you're responsible, organized and would enjoy playing a key role in the healthcare field, medical billing and coding can be a challenging and interesting career.

Accreditation/Certification Information Disclosure
Accreditation is a voluntary process which may be undertaken by schools to demonstrate compliance with specific standards designed to indicate a level of education quality. SBC is institutionally accredited (accredited in total) by the Accrediting Council for Independent Colleges and Schools (ACICS), a national accrediting agency recognized by the United States Department of Education (DOE) and the Council for Higher Education Accreditation (CHEA). This indicates that SBC substantially meets or exceeds the stated criteria of education quality established by ACICS, and approved by the DOE and CHEA. This recognition of institutional accreditation by ACICS entitles SBC to offer Title IV Financial Assistance to students who qualify.
An additional form of accreditation that a school may undertake to obtain is a specific, individual accreditation of certain programs (programmatic accreditation). Institutional accreditation is not the same as or a substitution for programmatic accreditation. Although programmatic accreditation is not required for employment in many cases, the existence of programmatic accreditation is a further indication that a program meets the standards of the profession, and may therefore indirectly enhance employment opportunities. Also, in some cases, programmatic accreditation will allow the graduates of the accredited program to sit for some credentialing exams immediately upon graduation without any requirement of work experience.
