Medical Sonography – Vascular
Certificate
Announcement
As of 3/1/26: We are not accepting students for Spring 2027 for this program.
What You’ll Learn
Vascular sonography is a challenging yet rewarding profession. As a sonographer working in this field, you’ll use ultrasound machines to produce images of patients’ veins and arteries using high-frequency sound waves. Physicians use the images—which show the structure and movement of internal organs, or blood moving through vessels—to diagnose and treat various conditions. In this role, you’ll also provide information and support to patients, while being an important part of the medical team.
Applicants for the Medical Sonography – Vascular Certification program must be graduates or currently enrolled graduating (i.e., completing final semester) seniors of a JRCDMS accredited Medical Sonography program or JRCDMS Cardiovascular Sonography to meet eligibility requirements. The Medical Sonography- Vascular Certification program is a three semester; certificate program and all applicants must meet minimum requirements to be considered for admission.
