During this course, students will be assigned to, and directly supervised in a Diagnostic Medical Ultrasound imaging facility such as a hospital, clinic, or imaging center. The student will be introduced to the clinical setting and departmental organization. Under direct observation by a supervising sonographer or physician serving as the Clinical Instructor (preceptor), and the school’s Clinical Coordinator, the student will begin to acquire the hands-on skills necessary for the sonographer in a clinical site. This is accomplished through observation and participation in clinical case studies of patients undergoing ultrasound examinations.
