Is there such a thing as a Florida state License for Ultrasound Techs (Sonographers)? How do they get it?
I’m trying to find out whether or not Florida has a state license for Sonographers / Ultrasound Techs. This is not the same thing as a Radiology Tech. Ultrasound does not use radiation. Can someone help me? I’ve looked everywhere I can think of looking.
According to this website, no state requires licensure, but there are accrediting organizations that would be good to have.
“Additionally, while there are no state licensure requirements for Sonographers, many employers seek to hire those who are registered, as it affirms the Sonographer’s knowledge, skills, and abilities. The American Registry of Diagnostic Medical Sonographers (ARDMS) registers Sonographers who pass a test focused on general equipment and procedures within their specialty area.”
