Diagnostic Medical Sonography is a type of imaging that uses high frequency sound waves, more commonly known as ultrasound, to produce images of the body. Sonographers are an integral part of the interdisciplinary health care team and are in high demand across the country and internationally. Sonographic images are used by physicians to diagnose and treat various diseases and conditions.

The Sonography program is primarily focused on preparing its students to be competent and committed medical professionals, who have a clear understanding of their role within the health professions arena. The accredited 24-month full time program will prepare you to become competent in producing high quality images of multiple body parts and systems including the heart, abdomen, pelvis, blood vessels and obstetrics/Gynecologic.

Upon completion of the Medical Sonography program, you will be qualified to work in a variety of health care settings. Once accredited status is granted, you will be able to write the Sonography Canada credentialing examinations for Generalist and Cardiac Sonography streams to become a qualified registered sonographer.
