Description
Students are assigned to the clinical setting to begin their hands-on experience performing sonographic procedures and practice patient
care skills. The student will start to develop skills to carry out sonographic examinations and gain the ability to recognize normal and
abnormal sonographic patterns. The student will work closely with their clinical preceptor, as well as other staff technologists. Students will
begin to perform examinations including transthoracic echocardiography, carotid duplex, lower extremity venous and arterial duplex, upper
extremity venous and arterial duplex, ankle/brachial indices and segmental arterial pressures. Correlation of theory to practice is measured
through attendance, clinical logs, and evaluations.
