• MODERN TECHNOLOGY SCHOOL - SCHOOL CATALOG • <br />DIAGNOSTIC MEDICAL ULTRASOUNDIVASCULAR TECHNOLOGY Continued ... <br />THE PROGRAM: <br />The Diagnostic Medical Ultrasound/Vascular Technologist program is an 18 month course of study with <br />three major components: didactic, laboratory & clinical internship. The didactic and laboratory portions <br />average twenty-four hours perweek; and upon placement in a clinical internship, the student is required <br />to commit to a maximum of thirty-six to forty hours per week. All internships require a day time <br />commitment. <br />The program will cover the ultrasound technology, vascular technology, anatomy & physiology, <br />pathology, scanning protocols, ultrasound physics and medical ethics, medical terminology and patient <br />care. The predominant didactic scope of the program is in abdomen, obstetrics and gynecology, small <br />parts, vascular evaluations, abdominal Doppler of vasculature & abdominal structures, venous & <br />arterial imaging and evaluation. <br />EDUCATIONAL OBJECTIVE: <br />To provide students with didactic, laboratory and clinical training necessary to obtain employment in <br />the field of ultrasound. Sonographers are frequently required to perform vascular procedures as part of <br />their caseload. Students completing the ultrasound/vascular technology course will be able to perform <br />various procedures related to diagnostic ultrasound and vascular technology. <br />NATIONAL REGISTRY EXAMINATION - ARRT or ARDMS: <br />Successful graduates of the program are eligible to sit for the ARDMS registry examination in general <br />ultrasound and/or vascular technology, or the ARRT Examination in Sonography (primary -path). <br />MTS graduates interested in taking the ARDMS exam must meet the prerequisite requirements listed <br />on the ARDMS registry website: <br />12 months post -graduate employment <br />12 continuing education credits in ultrasound <br />A letter of verification of hours from employer <br />MTS graduates interested in taking the ARRT Sonography Examination (primary path) must have an <br />Associate degree (any major) prior to taking the examination. <br />CAREER OPPORTUNITIES: <br />Students completing the Diagnostic Medical Ultrasound/Vascular Technologist program will be able to <br />obtain entry-level employment as either an ultrasound &/or vascular technologist. Employment <br />opportunities will be found in medical centers, hospitals, imaging centers, mobile or portable <br />companies, or the ultrasound registry. Student employment opportunities also exist in ultrasound <br />departments that require sonographers performing diagnostic procedures to be cross -trained in <br />vascular technology. <br />Published January 1, 20201 Effective through December 31, 2020 All Rights Reserved 0 Visit us at www.mtschool.edu <br />
