Diagnostic Medical Sonography

A Growing Health Care Field

Diagnostic medical sonographers are a critical part of the healthcare team. They help clinicians diagnose illnesses using ultrasound to image organs, tissue, and blood flow inside the body. An associate degree is all you need for a career in this growing field, as a staff sonographer in radiology departments, hospitals, private offices, outpatient clinics, and military units.

Through a partnership with Tidewater Community College, Southwest will launch a local student cohort in Spring 2024, selecting 12 students to enter the Diagnostic Medical Sonography AAS program.
