Diagnostic Medical Sonography, also known as ultrasound, uses high frequency sound waves to create images of inside the human body. You will learn the art and science of becoming an excellent diagnostic medical sonographer and gain practical experience in local hospitals.

Diagnostic Medical Sonography is one of the fastest growing health care professions. Using sophisticated, high-tech equipment in direct contact with patients, sonographers need an exceptional knowledge of anatomy, superior eye-hand coordination, analytic skills and independent, interpretive judgment to locate and capture internal images, which physicians rely on to make medical diagnoses. As a profession, sonography emphasizes career development leading to additional certifications in specialty areas, such as echocardiography and vascular imaging. Our graduates are highly sought-after by hospitals, clinics and physician practices.

Palm Beach State College’s Diagnostic Medical Sonography program is accredited by the Commission on Accreditation of Allied Health Education Programs (CAAHEP) by the recommendation of the Joint Review Committee of Education in Diagnostic Medical Sonography (JRC-DMS). Our graduates are eligible to take the national board exams administered by the American Registry of Diagnostic Medical Sonography (ARDMS).
