What should I expect when I am in the Diagnostic Medical Sonography program?
It is a day program. Didactic and clinical education is designed according to the best educational needs of the student. The program is regional, which means the clinical affiliates are located throughout New Jersey and some locations in New York. The ratio according to the accrediting agency requires the program to have a student/faculty 1:1 ratio. This explains why the number of students accepted into the program is based on the amount of available clinical affiliates. Students need to recognize that they are placed at at least two to three hospitals that provide the best clinical competence experience in preparing them for an entry-level employment. The courses are designed with a correlation of theoretical and clinical instruction with the intent to make the graduate a competent sonographer and a productive member of the Sonography team. Students will learn Abdominal, Ob/Gyn and Echocardiography Sonography and are required to pass all competencies to obtain an A.A.S degree. Student
