Cardiovascular Sonography

Hands-on Cardiovascular Sonography Education in California

Diagnostic ultrasound uses high-frequency sound waves to create images of organs, tissues, and other structures inside the human body. It’s an effective, non-invasive method for helping healthcare professionals diagnose illnesses and ailments, and it’s projected to be a fast-growing sector of the healthcare field over the next several years. In California, the projected growth in employment for diagnostic medical sonographers is 28% from 2018-2028.* At Smith Chason College’s campus in Ontario, we offer diploma and degree programs that combine online lectures and in-person labs and externships utilizing industry current ultrasound technologies.
