Advanced Certificate in Diagnostic Medical Sonography

Diagnostic Medical Sonography plays a vital role in helping physicians diagnose and monitor a range of medical conditions, from pregnancy to heart disease and cancer. Sonographers use high-frequency sound waves or ultrasound to produce dynamic images of organs, tissues, or blood flow in the body. Diagnosis and treatment are often determined from those images. Our DMS program offers one-year advanced certificates so you can graduate quickly and enter the workforce. Online courses offer flexibility and convenience, while clinical rotations can potentially be completed wherever you live. If you want to join the healthcare field, interact with patients and make good money, this might be the career for you!

Candidates must have an associate degree or higher in a healthcare program to be eligible for our DMS program. We offer three options, allowing you to specialize in a specific area of sonography. You may choose a one-year advanced certificate in general sonography, cardiac sonography, or vascular sonography. All didactic coursework is completed online, followed by clinical in a facility that is close to your home.
