A Diagnostic Medical Sonographer usually works in hospitals, clinics, and doctor’s office or in the areas of research, sales, applications and marketing. In the patient care related areas, the sonographer usually performs a variety of ultrasound examinations such as:
- Obstetrics/Gynecology
- Abdominal
- Neurosonology
- Depending on the facility and the sonographers’ level of expertise.
In non-patient care related areas, the sonographer has had previous experience in ultrasound and works with companies that produce ultrasound equipment. The job availability varies from somewhat low in El Paso to a high level of demand out-of-town. Government positions are available, as well as positions in sales, research, and applications.
Upon graduation of the program the student is eligible to sit for his/her national examination offered through the American Registry of Diagnostic Medical Sonographers. The cost of the Associate program is $9,812.00 Specialized.
Admissions requirements entail only 18 seats for both the Certificate and A.A.S. degrees at EPCC. Consequently, the admission’s process is really rigorous and competitive.
