Cardiac Sonography

If you have a degree, but don't have the career you want, our program is specifically designed for you. In less time than you might think, with our unique approach to ultrasound education, you could combine your bachelor's degree in any field or associate's degree in a patient care allied health field with our Diagnostic General Sonography program and become a desirable candidate for a position in the field of cardiac ultrasound.

Our Cardiac Sonography program focuses on the in-demand application of cardiac ultrasound focusing on the heart with exposure to vascular ultrasound in preparing you to become a cardiac sonographer, also referred to an echocardiographer. According to the US Department of Labor, "Employment of diagnostic medical sonographers is expected to increase by about 19 percent through 2016 - faster than the average for all occupations - as the population ages, increasing the demand for diagnostic imaging and therapeutic technology."

Diagnostic General Sonography

Our programs focus on the two most in-demand application areas for sonography. You can choose between a General focus which includes both abdominal and obstetric and gynecological applications, or a Cardiac focus which includes the heart. Both provide exposure to vascular ultrasound, the third most common use of the technology.

There is little better than the feeling that comes from knowing that what you do for work actually makes a difference. Diagnostic medical sonographers know that feeling. Physicians recommend ultrasounds as a diagnostic tool. Sonographers are specially trained to provide studies to physicians that enable them to diagnose health issues and treat them appropriately, or provide patients the comfort of knowing everything is ok. Whether it is the adult heart that is shown to be healthy, the improperly functioning heart valve that is caught in time, or the fetus whose sex is revealed to expectant parents, every study performed and every patient met is an achievement in helping others for the sonographer.
