Sonography Certificate Program
The flourishing field of sonography sprang into diagnostic medicine no more than five decades ago and its applications today are dynamically expanding. It was recently introduced into veterinary, emergency, ophthalmic, musculoskeletal, neonatal and intraoperative imaging while it retains its roots in the more traditional areas of abdominal, cardiac, vascular and obstetric imaging.
The role of the sonographers has grown just as dynamically as the field. The diagnostic medical sonographer is well versed in human anatomy and pathology and is thoroughly prepared to assist physicians in the diagnosis of disease.
The George Washington University is accredited by the Commission for the Accreditation of Allied Health Education Programs (CAAHEP).
GW’s sonography program places heavy emphasis on both practical and didactic education. Students enrich their learning with clinical experience throughout their two years in the program. Classes are small in size, engendering substantial faculty-student interaction and lively classroom participation.
The certificate option gives students the opportunity to obtain GW’s high quality of sonography education in any of the three clinical practice areas of General, Vascular and Cardiac Sonography. This option is often chosen by individuals who have baccalaureate or graduate degrees but want to pursue education in sonography
