A: Mom?
B: Yes, Kate?
A: How did you become an ultrasound technician?
B: Why do you ask? Are you interested in becoming a sonographer like me?
A: I’m thinking about it. We’ve been having career counseling sessions in school and I think something in the medical career track could be for me.
B: That’s great, hon. Well, any career starts with good education. The best sonography schools are those that offer accredited programs.
A: What do you mean by accredited?
B: When a training program is accredited, it meets the highest standards set throughout the country. Accreditation is done by the Commission on Accreditation of Allied Health Education Programs.
A: Are there many accredited programs in the US?
B: More than 200 schools all over the country offer accredited sonography training, with different specialties.
A: Amazing! What’s next?
B: The next step is to get certified, though this is not required by law. Certification exams are offered by the ARDMS and CCI, both sonography organizations. After certification comes decision-making, regarding where to work.
A: Where do you think is the best place to be a sonographer?
B: A lot of factors are involved in what makes a place the best fit for any sonographer, to be honest. A lot of research is needed – you can visit this website I found helpful when I was student – ultrasoundtechniciancenter.org.
A: Thanks, mom. I’ll look into it later after dinner.
B: No problem. Tell me how your next counseling session goes.
A: Will do!
