Virginia College Diagnostic Medical Ultrasound Training

Imagine using your skills to help expectant parents experience the joy of seeing their baby's heart beat for the first time, to help catch a life- threatening disease early...to help give a patient peace of mind in a time of crisis.

Ultrasound is on the forefront of modern medicine. Its uses in diagnosis are continually growing and actually replacing more invasive procedures.

You'll prepare to work in hospitals or private practices, assisting physicians by performing high frequency sound wave patient examinations to image internal structures. This highly specialized credential will focus on ultrasound physics and instrumentation along with abdominal, reproductive system, obstetrical, gynecological, and vascular scanning.
