Please read the accompanying Addendum for changesandupdates. Connect with an admission advisor for more details. The A.O.S. in Ultrasound Technology program has a library and classrooms with audiovisual teaching aids, textbooks, journals, anatomical charts, models, and e-library resources. The scan laboratory has ultrasound machines and an Ankle-Brachial Index (ABI) machine. The Ultrasound Technology Program is an Associate of Occupational Science Degree program. The student will receive didactic and clinical education in abdominal sonography, small parts, obstetrics and gynecology, ultrasound physics and instrumentation, musculoskeletal (MSK), pediatric, neonatal, patient care, and vascular sonography. This training will be combined with General Education courses. The instructor-to-student ratio is 1:30 in residential lectures, 1:25 in online lectures, 1:10 in the laboratory, and 1:1 during clinical rotation. The program consists of eight (8) 12-week modules. During the program’s first module, students will take General Education courses up to 24 hours per week via online delivery during the first program module. Students will continue taking General Education courses online for up to 24 hours per week for the first seven (7) weeks of the second program module. The workload consists of on-campus didactic/lab sessions, including up to six (6) hours per day of instruction for up to three (3) days per week during the last five (5) weeks of the secondmodule. The subsequent two (2) modules(ModulesIIIandIVorModulesVandVI,dependingonthemodulesequence) consist of on-campus didactic/lab sessions only, including three (3) days per week of up to eight (8) hours per day of didactic instruction. After completing four (4) modules, students are generally expected to participate in clinical rotations two (2) days per week, up to eight (8) hours per day. Students will continue to attend didactic/lab sessions on-campus three (3) days per week, up to eight (8) hours per day. In the last two (2) modules, students attend clinical rotations only for three to four (3 – 4) days per weekandattendMasterScanningLabcoursesonceamonthondaystobeannouncedonaseparateschedule. The student receives 1,426 didactic and laboratory instruction hours and 960 clinical education hours, allowing them to apply the lecture topics to practical use. The curriculum provides students with the technical, clinical, and interpersonal skills necessary to succeed in this field. Furthermore, the program prepares students to take their ARDMSexaminations. An Associate of Science Degree in Ultrasound Technology is awarded upon program completion. The expected completion time for this program is 96 weeks, excluding holidays and vacation times. Class times can and may be rescheduled on an alternate day of the week (Sunday through Saturday) to ensure on-time program completionandfulfillment of required program hours.

Voluntary and Prudent Use Statement for Ultrasound Technology Instructions in the ultrasound training laboratory are made possible by the participation of students, both as the person scanning and the person being scanned (subject). All the exercises are developed to ensure prudent and safe use of the equipment and the subject. Participation is voluntary. Election not to participate will not affect grades. However, alternate training will need to be arranged. 183
