Ultrasound
Technology Program
Diagnostic Cardiac Sonography (echocardiography) is a safe, reliable imaging modality that is routinely used
to evaluate the anatomy and hemodynamics of the heart. As such, cardiac sonographers are vital to the practice
of cardiology. The program will consist of didactic classroom instruction supported by the direct application
of theory to practice in the clinical setting. Upon, completion of the course, the graduate will be qualified
to work in hospitals, clinics and doctors' offices as members of the dynamic health team of the future.

Program Description
Institute of Health Sciences offers an 18-month Echocardiography Program with clinical sites in Baltimore,
Maryland. Academic lectures originate primarily from the
Jackson College in Detroit, Michigan and are made
available to the students using state-of-the-art, interactive video-enabled classrooms. This system goes
beyond traditional distance education and allows live, face-to-face collaboration between students and
faculty. The program offers an exceptional educational experience by providing the high-quality didactic and
