DMSX271-276 – Clinical Practicum

The student will be assigned, and directly supervised in a diagnostic medical ultrasound imaging facility such as a hospital, clinic, or radiology imaging center.  The student will be introduced to the clinical setting and departmental organization.  Under direct supervision by a clinical preceptor (supervising sonographer or physician), and the school’s Clinical Externship Coordinator, the student will begin to acquire the hands-on skills necessary for the sonographer in a clinical site. This is accomplished through observation and participation in clinical case studies of patients undergoing ultrasound examinations.

Prerequisite: Completion of DMS101 through DMS255
