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
