Students are assigned to the clinical setting to begin advancing their hands-on experience performing sonographic
procedures and practice patient care skills. The student begins to develop skills to carry out sonographic examinations
and gains the ability to recognize normal and abnormal sonographic patterns. The student works closely with their
clinical preceptor, as well as other staff technologists. Students begin to perform examinations including transthoracic
echocardiograms, 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.
