i am from ontario and the ultrasound schooling courses are limited. is there a good accredited school in the states? and can i take the course there and come back to canada to work? if so what extras will need to be done to go to school in the states and to come back to canada after to work?

I am particularly interested in Seatle WA, Portland OR, Colorado, Texas or advice will help if you have experiance and or knowledge about ultrasound school. Thanks

where can i find a school that teach ultrasound in san jose, california or close to it?

I’m considering a career change and have always been interested in healthcare. From what I’ve read RNs, RTs or ultrasound technicians have a strong future in healthcare. Can anyone tell me how much school is involved in becoming an UT? I only have some college completed and would need to go back to school – the question is, for how long?
Thanks for your help!

I want to start school online to be an ultrasound tech. Not sure which schhol to choose. There are so many online schools and not sure which one offers this or where to start so any help would be great. thanks for your time and help

What are some of the skills and qualities that I should stress in the essay? If you are a sonography technician. what made you become one and what do you enjoy about the work?

I have been looking into how to become an ultrasound technician. I can’t seem to find any schools that offer ultrasound/radiology programs in my area. (I went to the college search things once I ran out of ideas and they say certain schools offer programs, but when I go to check out the school, they don’t…)
So, does anyone know of any schools in the Philadelphia, PA or Delaware County, PA area that offer ultrasound tech programs?
Thanks!!

When thinking about entering an ultrasound program, you need not be concerned so much about certificate vs. degree. What is important is that you go to an ACCREDITED program, whether it is college or hospital based. An accredited program allows you to take your registry (licensing) exams upon graduation. Once you get licensed, you will never be asked about your schooling again. An employer does not care what route you take to get licensed, they just want you to have that license.
Don’t waste your time or money on a NON-accredited program. Upon completion and graduation from a NON-accredited program, you must work in the field of sonography for a full year prior to taking your licensing examinations. But, you will have a hard time finding an employer to hire you, unless you are licensed.
I would suggest you observe an imaging department to get an idea of what ultrasonographers do daily. There is much more to it than scanning pregnant women. Most people have no idea how much is involved in this career!
You can find a list of accredited schools in your area, by searching “diagnostic medical sonography” and your state at the following site. There are links provided for each program, which will give you additional information (including course duration):http://www.caahep.org/Find_An_Accredited…
There is only one accredited program for ultrasound in the state of VA and it is in Norfolk. Are you close enough to commute to another state? My geography is lacking!
Many people, myself included, go to school to become a radiologic technologist, before continuing to ultrasound school. In fact, it can be difficult to get into u/s school without the RT license. There are many more choices for schools for x-ray in most states. You can find them here, by searching “radiography“ and your state:http://www.jrcert.org/cert/Search.jsp
The American Society of Radiologic Technologists just did a large salary survey. You can see how much a RT and/or ultrasound technologist averaged, per year, in your state here:https://www.asrt.org/media/pdf/research/…
