Program Director's Message

The faculty would like to welcome you to the Diagnostic Medical Sonography Program. Our goal is to produce Diagnostic Medical Sonographers that serve the total needs of the patient. Our team of educators is committed to providing the highest level of Diagnostic Medical Sonography education.  We are dedicated to providing superior education to our students to enable them to succeed in this rewarding profession.  In return, we expect all students to perform at their peak efficiency.  

We feel cognitive objectives are best achieved through strong academics, effective behavior is learned by integrating academics with clinical practice, and psychomotor skills are best learned through varied clinical practice. We also feel that clinical practice by students should not be used as a substitute for qualified sonographers performing the examinations. Clinical practice used as a learning experience, requires professional staff to supervise the student through the following phases: (1) explanation, (2) demonstration, (3) participation, and (4) evaluation. 

Our goal is to serve as a model for hospital-based allied health education and training and we are looking for individuals that are called to serve and learn in our hospital communities. Please let us know if you have any questions. We hope to hear from you soon!
