ISBN: 9781508185123
Publication Date: 2018-12-15
Because ultrasounds are low-risk procedures that yield real-time images, sonography is an in-demand field with bright prospects for increased job growth.

Many diagnostic medical sonographers specialize in particular areas of imaging. Sonographers can earn a good salary in this fulfilling career upon completion of a two-year program.

Diagnostic Medical Sonography (DMS)

The Diagnostic Medical Sonography Program at Pennsylvania Institute of Technology is committed to serving the local community by providing the training and education needed to fulfill the duties of a sonographer. The program goal is to prepare competent entry level general sonographers in cognitive (knowledge), psychomotor (skills), and affective (behavior) in the abdomen-extended and OB/GYN domains
