Netosha’s Answer

I would start off by taking normal health classes and regular prerequisites such as pre-nursing or any other health degree. I am not sure if sure if they offer shadowing to get started before getting accepted into the program to see if the program is for you. You also have to consider going through and being a radiologist 2-year program first to learn the basics of it. Once you have completed this program with high enough grades and GPA, and I'm not sure if you will need 1 or 2 years of experience but then you will finally be able to apply for this program to become a Diagnostic Sonographer if you have all the correct prerequisites for the school that you are applying for. Also, keep in mind that some or most schools require your health classes such as HUM. anatomy and Physiology I and II within 6 years or less or you may have to retake them if it has been longer just prior to applying for these programs as well. Good luck it is definitely worth it in the end.

Hello, Kimberli !

What an exciting and most interesting career interest you have. I will be happy to give some advice.

To start with, you would go to college for either an Associate of Applied Science degree or a Bachelor of Science degree. You can also go for a certificate program (but I suggest getting the Bachelors degree) which are between 12 and 24 months in length. Keep in mind that some certificate programs require a college degree, though. If you get just the Associates degree or just the certificate, employers may want you to have more experience working to compensate for the lack of education. So, it will pay to go for the Bachelors degree, in my opinion. You than go for your professional licensing.

After you graduate and have your certifications, you can apply for jobs. That's when you'll see yourself starting your career. It's hard to really say how many years this will take because it's all depending on how much academic college you choose to do.

I wish you all the best in school and I hope that this has helped.

The medical field is a great field to be in! This is possibly a career where you can go through a certification course and not necessarily a major college. Once you are in the field you can most times utilize your job to pay for further education for your degree! Check out your local area for technical schools that offer certifications, there are tons of places and often times many of them are online!

Good luck to you!
