What You Learn in Medical Sonography
Our program is in-depth and hands-on. Learn how to operate the equipment, process data, and offer patient care and instructions. Complete five practicums and advance your scanning techniques. Gain extensive knowledge in anatomy, physiology, and disease processes. Graduate, then take the American Registry of Diagnostic Medical Sonographers certification exam.
What Can I Do as a Medical Sonographer?
You are an essential member of the healthcare team and your work makes an impact on the lives and health of patients. You explain the procedure and answer questions. You obtain and review diagnostic images and provide a summary to the physician. Work in hospitals, clinics, imaging centers, medical, and diagnostic labs. Every day will be different and you will continue to learn and advance your skills throughout your career.

Eastern Iowa Community Colleges hosted a live, multidisciplinary healthcare simulation at the Scott Community College Health Sciences Building.
This 75-minute simulation followed the case of a 28-year-old pregnant patient who experiences an eclamptic seizure during a routine dental cleaning. After stabilization, first responders observe potential signs of intimate partner violence (IPV), prompting full collaboration between healthcare providers, emergency personnel, and health information management (HIM) professionals.
More than 30 EICC students participated in the simulation.
